    I was robbed of my last few minutes of my 30 today. Took my break and then moved up and then moved out of someone's way and parked for the last three minutes... When I rolled out at 31 minutes it ran me back to 28 minutes and goofed up my 30.

    I have not had that issue in a long time.

    What are you hitting???

    No choice of reefer only here at Abilene.
    And reefers can sit and wait forever too.
    And in the middle of the night as well.
    We all pull both... Variety is nice.
     
    Rocknroller4 Thanks this.

    On the topic of top bunk sleeping i looked at it as i was a guest in someone elses house. I wouldnt ask to sleep in their bed at home. Heck, i barely put a couple things in the fridge.

    And i like it cold in truck to sleep. If the truck idles, i idle it on the high temp side. Prolly wont as much on the low side. Abilene set their parameters, im gonna play in them. When it comes to the million tolls in the ne, i try to consider cost as part of routing, after traffic/time concerns.

    Thank you for clearing up the sleeping on top bunk while truck is in motion. Do not train or team so it is not an issue with me just always thought it was illegal for some reason. So now I am wrong twice in my lifetime.

    I slept on the top rack during training at both TransAm and Abilene. No safety strap was used.
