Con-Way Truckload Drivers: What's Your 20? (2014 edition)

US 69 N in Kansas ....Headed to Wyoming

, Minnesota......

where is my I-10?

 

Cw.. was that you that I saw parked in a little dirt lot up in Rindge, New Hampshire on Sunday?
I was the guy wearing the leopard skin fez and the 'Big n Beefy' t shirt....

 

Negative. I havent been up in NH since 2014 and that part of NH your talking about is a area ive never been to. The part of NH I went too was Raymond where the Walmart DC is and thats it really. If you do see my truck i have my decals on the lower side where its hard for anyone just about too see them.

 

My load to Montgomery AL got rescheduled. So I have another load picking up close to Grand Rapids and taking it too my 2nd Favorite state in America. North Carolina!!!

 

What dirt lot is in Rindge anyway just in case I get stuck up there?

 

Joe show me your tits.

 

Rooster very tired, tankers are interesting, but these guys tend to run illegal to get the loads delivered. Not good
Rooster fighting sleep at the wheel, not good.
Rooster had to cancel going to a basketball game with Rooster Jr to get some sleep. not good
Rooster starting to talk like Cargo, not good.
Rooster can spell big words like OTR.
That's right, coming back next week.
Rooster gotta show Pauldo where I-10 is...

 

You know tanker drivers technically have a 16hr day and only need 10hrs off. Too me thats alot of hours and not enough time too rest.

 

I saw the future yesterday...A driverless car...ragtop Mustang, on I 75 between Naples and Ft. Myers. I knew something was fishy even before I got close enough to realize it was driverless. In this part of the world, at this time of the year, the old folks (that's anybody older than me) goes 55 on the interstate. I knew something was strange because this one wasn't in the hammer lane with its blinker on...

I was doing 73 so I didn't have time to snap a picture...gonna miss that 73 mph truck, but, gonna enjoy a little more sleep...not a lot, just a little.

 

Never heard of that 16 hour rule, but, apparently my company had. Dispatches tended to look like you could do it in 10 to 12 on paper, but in reality, it took 14 to 15. Add an hour of commute, time, an hour of dinner and unwind, more time to shower, eat breakfast, fix a lunch, and that left about 4 to 5 hours for sleep. I can do really well on 6 to 6.5 hours, but not less.
