Random Question: How Often Do Truck Drivers Get In and Out of Their Trucks Daily?

I delivered Pig feed. Pretty conservative guess would be a minimum of 50 times a shift.
I tried for 10 loads a night. In and out once to load, and 2-4 times while unloading. plus other random times

 

Flat bed, on load and unload days - maybe 25 times.

Loaded and rolling days, 6-10 easy.

Why for you ask @Ttruck_Hustler_001 ?

 

Drove garbage truck back in the day, rear loads we had routes that had 200 stops a day, that was 200+ times a day you got in and out. Food delivery was average around twenty stops a day, but most stops were 30+ times up and down a ramp on the back of the trailer. When I end dumped you were out every time you dumped to check and clean the back of your trailer that could be on average seven times, but if you were doing site work it was a lot more. Right now I haul short haul but still average 10 times a night I am in and out of the truck, that's covering a little over 500 miles a night. When do otr it's flatbed and on your mileage days, you are technically supposed to get out of your truck every 1.5 hours to check your load securement. So that is still at least ten times a day in and out of the truck

 

Offloading cryo is a tedious and intense experience. Pressures must be managed, valves adjusted to increase or reduce flow to keep that pressure in the window.
It’s neat freezing a water bottle in seconds, and the clouds of condensation are great when it’s hot…
I got out of it simply because it’s not my cup of tea. Certainly interesting though.
