I'm awake early. I wanted to sleep an extra hour, but the load needs to get moving. I'm an hour late already... dispatch never updated my delayed delivery time.
Trucking is like moving into a rough trailer park. Your neighbors are meth heads, street urchin hookers, and ex felons. Most sleep at night, but the few villians out there keep you unhinged just enough to fit in as a trucker.
I'm up early today because somebody is re-arranging their load or fixing their old dumpy truck that California wouldnt let cross their border. It's a mixed feeling, because now I'll get to roll and shutdown sooner than later today, and deliver earlier (dispatch finally updated my load as I post this... before I start my pretrip). So the goofball in the next lot, just like the trailer park with all the crazies, did me a favor.
This is an aspect to trucking that will be common. If you can sleep during your late night illegal construction projects in a trailer park... then you can sleep fine out here.

,,, then get back to us,,and a "rough" trailer park? By definition, they are all rough. Hang in there, pal, sounds pretty normal to me, and I've been out of the loop for 20 years.
