I rarely had to shut down under the HOS. But I did have areas that I would intentionally shutdown for a day or two.

St. Regis Montana was always a must stop area for me. The travel center had a little restaurant/gift shop/bar/motel next door with parking about a hundred yards away. The Trestle Creek golf course was right up the road and always had a few open tee times. I usually made a day of it. I hired a fishing guide there a couple times as well. I loved that little town.

I never thought about golf. I love to play but rarely have the time. Thanks for the tip!

I only work 5 nights a week. Home from about 5 AM on a Saturday morning till I go back to work at or about 7 PM on Monday night.

I own a home, and have family, so I "pass the time" in my usual way.

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.

Was driving through California a while back and a really cheap hotel, American Suites? or Something along those lines....I am Canadian btw.....Was one of the best places I stayed, it was basically an apartment for 30$ USD, free breakfast, laundry, etc....Pretty awesome place to stay
