    That's how it's been for me too
    My miles are way down the last 2 months and my sitting is up
    Some great weeks bookended by several piss poor weeks.
    I've noticed a lot of trucks in stops in the middle of the day like it was 8 or 9 years ago
    Not sure if it's the industry or if I'm on the crap list.
    What time's dinner?
     
    Rubberduckin Thanks this.

    My company provides Espar heaters for use down to -10°C (14°F). Then they want the trucks high-idling (1000 rpm).

    But I'm a regional driver, and prefer the bed at home I share with my wife to anything else.
