    I don't agree with that. My dogs never stop in the same spot, or alignment.

    I think the circling is to fluff up or mat down the bedding. Even if that happens to be hardwood floor or nice cool tile.

    anyway. those one hour catnaps never worked for me.

    If I am getting groggy during a long drive I stopped and exercised for 15 minutes. It gets a rush of oxygen into the blood and spreads it around the body.

    But don't quote me on that. I slept in my regular bed last night, not a holiday inn.

    I read,your post indicates as much, where you'll fit in with the mega fleets just fine.you are already a yes man.or woman.make sure that you wear fingerless driving gloves please ma'am.

    because you are a student,and are being indoctrinated,i'll share a bit of knowledge with you.

    -loose leaf logs are as legal as elogs.don't believe the hype taught to you by someone that drove for 3 years and now teaches at some government funded driving school.

    -I am in a specialized form of trucking that actually pays more to pull therefore i don't have to run 20 hours per day.qualcommed/elogged/62-65 mph trucks are driven by those that just start out,for the most part as some veterans choose to drive that way now,as you will because you won't have a choice, and are fresh driving school grads,an impressive lot of people that already know more than the seasoned drivers out here simply because their trainer told them as much.you will probably derive a contentment from being monitored 24/7 because you seem to be comfortable with an over zealous government and the regs they enact simply because you know no better.you will be told where to fuel,when to park,when you can go home,how fast you can drive even if well below the posted speed limit,and you will do it all because that is all you know and that will be how you are trained.a driving school graduate.share some of that new knowledge with me,will you?

    -I have forgotten more than you'll ever know and that ma'am,is fact.I never attended a "driving school'.

    -I'd very much be entertained by you and your attempts at cracking on me,so please,crack away.

    -Do not bring God into our conversations unless you do so in a serious manner and from a religious perspective.

    so with the above being posted,bring your best. i am not sure what prompted your bash on me as i gave you a serious reply to your,as least i thought it was,serious question to me. It is my opinion that i still stand behind.your ignorance,as in literally not knowing,ms.student,of the ways of trucking, is rather glaring.wonder why students are not received as well out here as they perhaps should be?

    Vitamin D is helpful, also, if you learn to meditate you will find you no longer have a need for a nap. Proper meditation will result in a rested, awake and aware state of being.

    ouch.i probably won't be able to sleep tonight.that was the epitome of harsh replies.tisk.tisk.there you go inserting God into our conversation in an unflattering manner.are you by chance an atheist? nothing wrong w/that but i'd rather you be more creative w/your replies.your credibility will increase.

    Your ignorance,as in not knowing,shines once again.why,if one utilizes loose leaf logs,would they need logs that are hidden away? think about that for a moment.


    regarding obama,it was your generation that voted him in desiring all that hope and change.you do vote right? if not,no need to use politics in this non political arena or any other for that matter.there is another section for that if, by slim chance,you do vote.

    your posts are somewhat difficult to read lady.I'll have to cease our conversation.I need more mental stimulation and less eye strain in the conversations that i choose to engage in.thanks for the enlightenment on your behalf.I have been enriched.best of luck out here if/when you make it-

    How did this go from sleep , to a argument about elogs?
    Just asking , and not to be a smart ### but I am on elogs not by choice ill have you.
    I do not speed in truck stops ( why bother its not my load in the trailer) lol
    Constrution zones hell no , I worked construction for a few years so I know how unsafe it is.
    Sleeping at shipper and receiver, no, if ya plan ur day right you don't have to worry about that. ( planning is part of the key )

    As for upkept, well ya got me . I haven't shaved in a few weeks , I am trying that duck dynasty beard look thing out for a bit ( its going real good tho )


    Not ll results are typical

    Oh and sorry about the holding you guys up thing , I just couldn't sit behind a Prime truck anymore at 58 mph

    Hey don't drag me into that mess , I was just clearing me out of that mix ,

    but to answer your question. Yea I hate staying at shippers and receivers because there is no place to get a shower , or bathroom , oh and food . I like to eat lol
    So I will plan it out so I have time to leave , and when I leave I allready know where I am going . Because I knew I would have time to get to said place .
