    That's a hard way to spend 34 hours.

    I used to think that will be nice when it opens, now I almost always avoid that place being it pretty much stays full all day everyday.

    Sitting at the Loves in Ormond Beach. 71 miles to my first drop at 8am in the morning, then 5 miles to the second one.

    Want to know how much my “I don’t give a f&@k attitude has changed?” First drop wanted me to call them with my eta, for an early unload. Great, if the second drop would have cooperated, I would have had them both off today. The first one wanted to unload me today and said he wanted 2 days off in a row, second one said no, Sunday at 11am as scheduled. The Abilene driver (me) said nope, not spending an all day and night anywhere near Orlando and that rathole truck stop on Orange Blossom Trail to get the second drop off on Sunday. I will drop these 2 drops off as scheduled on my load assignment. This way, I can shower in the morning, poop and get my coffee like a somewhat normal human being, not living like an animal to make your life a little pleasant. I care about your pleasant life about as much as you care about mine.
