    Heh, you can have your reefer hours Lurch. I'd rather be getting up at O' Dark Thirty to drop off early morning than to be running all of those late hours. :biggrin_25523:

    LOL - we'll we're good there. I hate early morning. But my deliveries are generally daylight, too. I have SOME that are late night, I admit, though. But then I get to sleep through rush hour in a nice -10 degree F 53 foot long bunk

    I wouldn't sign a lease. I'd ask about that first. Before I listened to a peptalk about one ,I'd go down to the carnival and ask the guy in the booth where you knock down the pins what he thinks about it.

    That's the #1 reason why I chose the skateboard. I can always get up at 4 am. I had been doing that since I was 19. Heh, with this gig, I can sleep in to 6 am now. :biggrin_25523:

    Most Flatbed pick-ups/drop-offs are between 7am-5pm.
    Although I have a drop in Eugene, OR 5am this Wednesday.

    lol - it would kill me. Literally since I was born, I've been a go to sleep when the sun comes up guy. Drove my parents nuts.

    It's one reason my wife isn't complaining about this particular career change.

    Military loved me - man, I loved the midwatch right back!
