    Heh they made me go for a live load after Mclane to Philips lighting. That so called live load turned into 4 hours. Then after that I had to go with a pup to Walmart DC.

    I clocked out at 0035 and I'm scheduled for 830am start tomorrow. Yeah that won't happen

    Oh well at least I've got 12 hours and 15 minutes, most of it was sitting in the truck and watching videos.

    Usually under experienced truckers forum. Or here in local delivery. Usually I bring up contract mail stuff. @Sho Nuff is the mail hauling expert he works for the mail.

    10 hours off, sometimes that's just to much time off in-between shifts and for business purposes is just unacceptable and less time off in-between shifts is needed. Not that I know anything about that you know, but have heard and all. :rolleyes: Although I'm getting better at playing by the rules :eek: I hung up the 10 gallon hat a little while ago. However I have had days where I've had to wait to clock in.

    Yeah that won't work. They better send the straight truck companies after that one.

    Nah, im gonna end up doing it driving backwards.

    The dude lives on a circle too so I'll probably just be forced to get my tail end as close as I can and pallet jack it to the drive way luckily it's only two skids 2,000-2500 pounds of flooring.

    I would of done it today, but I want full day light when I do it.
