New driver going crazy OTR

You can't make money sitting at home. That's for sure.

 

When I ran loose leaf, I slept when I was sleepy. And drove when I was awake. It doesn't get much safer than that. Trying to drive by someone elses clock never worked out for me. I was always driving sleepy.

 

Just used the quote from the movie for why truckers need to get off the road at times......

 

Safety personal will tell people that they can be too tired to know they're tired. LMAO

 

safety and hr people don’t exist in my opinion

 

I never paid them much attention until the called complaining because I went a few hours over my 11. Even though it was to get over a mountain pass before the snow storm. And it was always the same thing, "You should've shut down at 11hrs." Blah blah blah blah.. I'm like "No, you should've turned off what ever it was that was tracking me, so I could do my job the safe way."

 

Where do you live and who do you work for?

 

Get into a different occupation while you can,,good luck

 

That's what the amphetamines are for.
