Former May Drivers Lounge...

Yeah life is ok,the first year was tough between the learning curve and working graveyard shift but since I landed dayshift in Oct it has been looking up.
Not making big money but I expect to be at about $50K this year,I'm pay'n the bills work'n 5 days a week averaging 11-12 hrs a day.
For me being home every night and having a weekend is priceless,7:00am start time everyday is nice too.

 

I think you hit the nail on the head, Scooter. I avoid all but the really large TA's after 4PM. Other than fueling, the only reason to go to a TS is for a shower. I sat at a small, tight Pilot at Exit 99 near Tumwater WA and watched guys do 1 foot pull ups for 10 min to back into a spot that they would vacate 15 min later. Ridiculous waste of time.

 

Man I hate that truck stop!
I take that exit quite a bit hauling chips from a mill a couple miles up the road from there,I won't even pull in there for a cup of coffee.
Had to stay there a few times when I was hauling freight,doing the musical chairs thing trying to get a place to park,ugg!

 

OK, I wondered what was over there, glancing at it as I turned left. I parked at that peelot after scaling a/or fueling couple times mid-day and ended up sitting there for 12 hours or so waiting for a dispatch. But of course, I had plenty of room to wheel around at that time.

 

ok, so my noob question for the evening lol... 8/2 split... i stop at 730, i can get up at 330 with remaining hours left over from my 11 right? or is it remainder of 14? and then I just have to complete 2 more hours in sleeper and that completes my 10 and it resets correct? >.<

 

I believe its both 11 &14 the qc always did it for me don't know for paper its the same
