    So what do you do to pass the time while you are sitting somewhere for 2 days?

    34 hours is not 2 days. I only have internet with phone. So I do my paperwork.

    I walk into the truck stop and grab another months worth of logs and draw me up a 34 hour reset while I eat dinner.

    Anything I know up ahead needs to be done to the truck (PM, inspection, maintenance or a fix) I try to get it done if I know my hours are going to require me to take a 34. I've never had a problem letting the shops I've been to in the past know I'm on a 34 and if the truck gets finished ahead of time, if they'll park it for me. The truck goes to the shop and I head for the Holiday Inn.....

    Get a shower, do the laundry, get a decent meal and maybe see some of the local sites.
     
    enicolasy Thanks this.
