Things I've learned my first 2 weeks OTR

AlexFromMD you picture is causing me pain.
I know how you feel some time. I would like to go in to detail but I don't have all day to type.

 

Use speech recognition..??

 

I-81 is no joke when it comes to parking. That I-81/I-78 corridor is brutal, Pennsylvania and Jersey especially, if your aren't shut down by 3pm get ready to waste 2 hrs looking for a spot or shell out the cash for a reserved spot. Running from New Orleans to Bayonne every week I cannot wait to get south of Virginia.

 

Two weeks in and already jaded, huh? It takes most at least a year.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the CBC; Cynical #######'s Club.

The road is lonely and the fabled lot lizards are either extinct or an outright myth. If you aren't teaming with your significant other you'll be beating off until home time. And most of the time you're too tired from 11 hours of driving to even do that.

99.999% of women use the internet now for dates. Do a little research, and you can find somebody to come by your truck, or to a little motel nearby a stop. If you do see a working woman in a truck stop you can believe she is a bottom of the barrel robber/ ultra heavy duty drug user, so avoid at all costs. Fun and relaxation can be had on the road easily, but don't ever pick up some "lot lizard" walking around a truck stop, nothing but bad can come of that. Do some research and find a good quality working girl to meet up with.

 

The flying j in new milford had plenty of parking all weekend. I sat there all weekend watching guys back into spots and park in no parking areas instead of the pull through spots 30 ft further away. Most of them ended up leaving within an hour.

 

Sounds like an exciting weekend .....

I can't for the life of me figure out why people make their own parking spots beside the scale or in the driveway when there is plenty of open spots. If it was someone with a show truck I can understand not wanting to risk getting it hit. But that isn't usually the case.

 

Some of those made up spots would be riskier then a real spot. Ya the weekend was very exciting. I watched the whole lord of the rings triligy. Especially hate doing restarts when I have plenty of hours to recap. #### dispatchers.
