    Oh you best believe I take naps... I'm pretty good about using split berth to maximize my time... And get a nap or 3

    I like the split never have to take a 30-minute break if it's run right people don't believe me when I tell them that, then I have to sit there and do it out on paper for them so that they'll understand that it can be done like that.
    The thing that kills me now is my sciatica long periods of sitting absolutely are really taking their toll on my body now.
    And of course mr. Arthritis showed up always to remind me in the morning why I don't want to get out of bed. Lol

    That's not exactly a NORMAL run... When dispatch sent me the load it came with a seperate message that read: "I got you on my nightmare load, thanks for everything you do." Which from that particular dispatcher is a huge kudos. She doesnt give the harder loads, or really sensative loads to just anyone.
