    Don't like the truckstop you're at? Piss all over it. Probably needs a re paving anyway.... The showers don't have hot water? Leave your wet towels sprawled out all over the place in the shower. Draw diks all on the foggy mirror. Don't buy food at the truckstops. Buy a fridge and food from walmart. Again, if the truckstop you park at dissatisfied you, just piss all over it. Don't tip the servers at iron skillet when all they do is fill your water. Make a mess of the shower, the person cleaning it probably deserves it anyway. If you park at a dump pilot, just chuck you're pissjug in the middle of the parking lot - pilot sucks and they deserve it too. Don't eat at Arby's. Tell the GM of whatever truckstop how much their food sucks. Tell them it's bull ##### that you're paying $5 for a slice of pizza and it looks like it's a week old. Just be a piece of crap is all I'm saying OP. Only way it'll get better out here. Don't have a shower credit? Raise hell about how you just used your hard earned points at the Pilot kiosk, only for it to be out of paper and unable to print a shower receipt. Tell your dispatchers that you don't have the hours. Tell them you are exhausted and you need a 34 when they give you a ######## load. Tell the guy who's on the Cb like he owns it to go #### himself. When he comes back with some smart response just key the mic up with some really, really annoying music playing loudly on your stereo. If a shipper/receiver tells you to wait until they have a dock available, and it's 4am,tell them to #### off, worst that happens is they turn you back around and ask for the load anyway. Do not sign a lease, whatever you do. Anyways good luck op

    Be patient!

    Keep stuff in the truck to keep yourself entertained(Kindle app, tablet, laptop, dvd player, weights) dont look at your weekly pay. Try to look at it monthly. This really helps you get by the low mile weeks.
