    21 deliveries plus 4 pickups in my own territory today, and STILL had to do two more pickups in some other do nothing mother ####-er’s area. The real head scratcher was people actually having the nerve to question why I would get more then a little pissed off about that. :mad: :banghead:

    Just curious how far is each stop, you must really start early and have your trailer loaded the right way.

    These lazy ######## don't know what work is. I'll tell you what work is.

    Getting to work but you have to make a truck list because some douchebag took your truck.

    Hooking a set my hand the piece by piece way because the trailers were in a crap spot.

    Having your meet guy be 2 hours late so you push to the next terminal.

    Breaking your set, in the rain, put both trailers in the door, IN THE RAIN, ON A MUDDY DIRT LOT.

    HOOK ANOTHER SET, PIECE BY PIECE, ON THAT SAME DIRTY MUDDY LOT.

    Driving home through a bad thunderstorm at 35mph. The wind was also very high and strong. Thank god I was super heavy.

    Yeah... That's work!

    I feel your pain. I had to wait 15 min at shoe carnival for them to close the door. Then when I got back to the hub I had to add window washer fluid myself because the mechanic was gone home. Then I got lucky and got a single pup down but had to drive through the tornado that hit here. It blew a Holland over in front of me. Then the truck stop didn’t have the skittles I wanted. They made me take doubles back. But hey I did get a 2 hour solid nap in so I was rested up to hook doubles all by my self like a big boy.

    Yeah sounds rough, but I only had like 30 minutes of paid delay each night this week. That's barely enough time for a nap.

    I start at 6 AM.

    My territory is one of the two most distant peddle runs we have, but it’s mostly in one town and around the outskirts. It’s the busiest little town around so there’s always a full load going there.

    Given the start time is it fair to assume you get done by 5pm.
