CRST and NO miles

I haven't had to sit at a TS over the weekend in years. But when I did I would go sight seeing, and in the evening I head to the bar. There's lots to do if you know how to do it. The next time you have to sit, ask the locals what there is to see. Most of them will give you good info. I have bobtailed, taken taxis, and rented cars. Yes this will cost money, but you get to do things you normally can't do. Drivers have to learn how to have fun on the road, just to keep the job interesting. Back in the day we used to have parties in the back row. That was always a good time.

 

what part of delaware?

 

You really don't want to go sightseeing around Gary, IN where the OP is stuck this weekend

 

I just moved from Denver to midwest... it was just hard to get back to denver, seemed there wasn't too many loads going there (at least with schneider). One reason was miles, another the new company is based in midwest and they don't go to denver... You should have a lot more luck east of denver, try to get in with a smaller company.

Good luck.

 

Oh very funny, but there is lots to see in Chicago. For me. I would go and look at the old mob hangouts and such. I'm interested in that stuff. The sad part is, I'm in Chicago all the time and never get to take time off to look around. The Loves in Gary is safe to park at, and they have 24/7 security there. Go rent a car and see what you normally don't.

 

Good idea on renting the car and sightseeing... lots to see in chicago. Problem I see, no miles, no $$$ and I'm sure noone wants to go spend money they don't have or have little of for some fun in the city...

 

Been there. The only way is to find a better job. Talk to drivers and see what they have to say. If I hear more then 5 drivers complain, or take a drive past the yard and see a bunch of trucks sitting there. I won't even apply there. Or go and see where drivers have to park there personal vehicles and see if it's junk or not, there is another clue. There are so many ways to find out if a company is good or not. You just have to do a little work. If enough drivers stop working there they will go out of business. Problem solved.

 

i figured you were joking, and didnt mean any offense like that, its why im worried about my wife joining me in this business
