    Get yourself a laptop, fire it up and kill some zombies.

    Watch some game of thrones or whatever you like.

    Research the market and put some of your extra $$$ to work for you.

    Take your headset into the driver restaurant and BS.

    Sit in your truck and film people trying to park without offering help hoping for a collision so you can put it on you tube.

    Empty your month supply of piss you have stored up behind the driver seat.

    You can also park your trailer in an empty spot then bobtail to another spot and use up two spots like what I just saw. That will kill you about 15 minutes or so.

    You can park your truck, switch the log to off duty, go inside to watch TV for ten hours, and you'd be perfectly legal.

    The same reason plumbers, electricians, brick layers, and carpenters follow building codes. You want to be paid like a professional then be a professional.

    There is nothing "professional" or quality about "legal", the best plumbers, electricians, carpenters and every other profession know that "legal" is nothing more than appeasing a government bureaucrat who knows nothing. The quality of the work they count on to establish their reputation occurs in spite of appeasing these morons, not because they appease these morons.

    Whatever man. Fell free to continue to operator like Billy bobs handyman unlicensed no bond handyman service. Just means there is more good freight available for those that operate professionally.

    I doubt you even know what good freight is since you are convinced that the definition of a professional is someone realigns whatever they think based on whatever a bunch of bureaucrats who have zero knowledge of the industry spew out next.
