    Yeah, one of the reason I'm scared to drive at night ( other than falling asleep) is for parking, I don't like parking on curbs and stuff, I like to park in actual parking spot, I'm doing Flatbed, even when I sometimes get night load, I usually done for the day by 4PM or 5PM.

    Tanker is pretty loosey goosey on sleep schedule, compared to reefer. Most drivers I know keep a schedule that doesn't change much.

    Still brutal on these Hartley runs. Get one Platte or Hutch done and one's already due to fly. Doesn't help that some of our Qualcomm units aren't sending or receiving messages. I desperately need to start hitting the gym soon.

    I bought a Flybird Folding Flat Bench last Summer on Amazon. It works great with dumbbells. The legs fold up on it similar to an ironing board. I leave it laying on the bed when I’m driving and set it in the passenger seat when I go to sleep. It’s narrow enough to slide through the door in the sleeper, too. I think it was $80.

    Nice suggestion. But needless to aay, I'd really like to focus on other things in life. Turn n Burn lifestyle is really giving me a hard case of FOMO.
