    I see what you mean. You're talking about the loss of the actual hour, I'm talking about how I like how the sun rises later (OKAY, OKAY, OUR ARBITRARY CHANGEABLE HUMAN CONCEPT OF TIME SHIFTS ONE ARBITRARY CHANGEABLE HUMAN UNIT OF TIME IN MY FAVOR MAKING THE SUN APPEAR TO RISE ONE HOUR LATER).

    Help the sun is out and poking through my sleeper curtains, my eyes are burning and now I can't sleep. IT BURNS

    Yeah would be crap headed back this way. I would do it just to say I've done it and to go visit my family in Vancouver BC. But, not ready for that kind of a trip right now.

    un-necessary these days anyway. Kids arent as likely to work the farm, and modern tractors have headlights to work into the darkness, which I have seen.

    for all those concerned about safety on the US's roads, might wanna look at this as a means of reducing SOME accidents.

    The clock change should really effect you the most since you have the most regular and structured 9-5 schedule compared to anyone else around here. Then again, I should probably specify that your schedule is actually 2100-0500

    LOL anyone looking for some quality reading material...

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Trucking/comments/2yowlr/stuck_with_western_express/

    Some of this stuff is unreal. For those that don't want to follow the link allow me to quote it here:

    Someone asks what happened... and here is the response (LMAO)

    So they "set this guy up for failure" by giving him the boot after he had to a. back up in the road after a week of driving the EXACT SAME ROUTE WITH THE INSTRUCTOR, during the road test and b. ran into a fence with his trailer DURING THE ROAD TEST because he wasn't using his mirrors (but will argue vehemently that he DOES use his mirrors as evidenced by earlier in his response) and c. was "grinding gears" aka missed the gear and couldn't get it back into gear after 10 minutes of trying to ram the shifter in and gliding along in neutral, but in his mind it was a simple "grind of the gears"

    And yet it is somehow NOT HIS FAULT.
