    It's just confusing a bit to understand everything in the beginning. The lingo, who to choose and not to choose, just everything. I believe I will like going otr or regional, I dont mind isolation and I love my kids and all, but it will be a kinda break from it all for a while

    Because 68 degrees outside can still spike to 86 inside.

    Don't give up hope. I'll be driving a 2017 Pro Star tomorrow at .42 a mile after being turned down 20 times. Just keep looking.

    I do try to park either with reefers or with other idling trucks. Or off by myself in some hidey-hole somewhere.

    I wonder what makes refer drivers want to park by flatbeds/tanks, I very seldom see a refer park by another one when there will be plenty of spots, maybe the refer guys dislike each other?

    I for one sleep better when truck or apu is running, I start around 2-3 in morning, and backing out of a spot at that time is awful, could be dangerous, you seen the guys running in high range through the parking area? I can just see a guy running through the highly flammable liquid I’m hauling and if he does, no one in that truckstop will know anything except they went to sleep and never woke up.

    I think every trucker wakes up one morning, palms his/her face, and asks, "How did it come to this? When did my life go off the rails?"

    Just kidding! Every day is sunshine, Twinkies, and Yoo-Hoo...:D
     
    Faintestidea and Cattleman84 Thank this.
