    I am the same way I cant relax unless I am rolling and I have to know what is going on. But like County said, if I am preplanned and know what is going on and know that I have a free day, then I will find something to do, and maybe go exploring or try to catch a movie or look and see who is in concert locally. I hate making delivery and not knowing what is coming next, with a passion.

    Sitting in Evansville, In for a Mon 08:30 del. Made it in time for a 34 restart that's really not needed since I still have 43.75 hrs left on my current 70. But as long as I stay averageing above 2500 plus a week I'm happy

    Basically in TX approved truck routes are all good, unless they're under construction

    I agree I hate not knowing where I'm going next. But I understand its part of the job. But I do know that once in awhile wedlock get preplanned 3 loads ahead. That happened to me for my last home time. I was o
    On a load and got three preplans taking me home to OKC,OK. It was sweet having entire week planned. But only happened once for the entire week.

    I agreee....I think the whole time I have worked here, I have had 2 whole weeks totally preplanned. I really liked it that way. It only becomes a problem when you get detained somewhere. But, it takes the worry out(for me) of having to wonder where I am headed next, or how long I am going to sit before my next dispatch. I am much calmer about the whole sitting around waiting for a load when I know when it is going to happen.

    Sitting in Joplin waiting on laundry and listening to a "SUPERTRUCKER" talk about how he is a bad-### and he's ran off more people as a trainer then anyone else. WHY do people insist on yelling at the top of their lungs when in a room full of people, NOT everyone wants to hear your BS. Sorry just don't care for people like this, you can go tell your BS to others that care. Thanks :biggrin_25519:

    Also about the whole sandal thing, I think it's ok for men to wear sandals BUT PLEASE DO NOT WEAR SOCKS WITH THEM !!!!! Thanks :biggrin_2554: LOL
     
    Jarhed1964 and paul_4lp Thank this.
