    That's the way to go. Might as well enjoy the benefits of the job. Anything more than 3 or 4 weeks cooped up in the truck I start to hate life.

    There's a dirt lot a few miles from Niagara that I stopped at once. Would/will definitely do it again. Peaceful to just sit out by the falls and then plenty of food and tourism nearby.

    My wife and I have been teaming for almost 8 years now, and we used to have lots of fun 34 hour resets on the road. Of course, as a team you only need to stop for about 24 hours, but that's enough time to rent a car or uber and see what's happening in the area.

    Most of these mini vacations happened when we drove coast to coast with Quest (rip). We did a reset once a week, since you can't really run recap on 2000mi hot loads.

    We had days off mostly when we were out west, and I love most of it out there. One of my favorites is Twin Falls ID...they have truck parking at a hotel right in town, and one time we even went kayaking on the Snake River.

    I miss driving out west, but I don't miss the winters out there.
