    Mckee (little debbie) doesn't shut down on Sundays. Sunday is their Monday. Saturday is their day of religion

    I will agree with you there. The Seven day adventist are serious when it comes to their thumping! All their businesses close at or by sundown on Friday nights & do not resume until sun rise Sunday morning.

    NO, I said I haven't seen a company do that. Please read the posts.

    About the only way that I can think of is to work local for an LTL that does not do P & D on Sundays. And yes, there are some out there.

    You've never heard of that?

    Have you ever driven past a truck stop on Sunday?

    Packed full...most weekend runs arent that long, and can usually be completed early if ran Friday and Sat...as such, your already where you have to be by Sat night...so you can relax and take Sunday off...

    That's what I've been trying to say...when your over the road, you can manage your time however you see fit...as long as your there by delivery time on Monday....

    What's so complicated about that??
