To Reefer or Not To Reefer?

You can put yourself into the sleeper if you're not unloading. Like panhandle said it's your 14 you worry about. There are actually times you'll get your 10 hour in sitting in a dock and you'll have a fresh 11 to drive.

About being paid, that's called detention. Usually it's paid X amount/hour after 2 hours waiting, but it can depend from company to company. Definitely something you need to ask about. Some companies can make it a PITA to try to get it too.

 

I was told to "pulp thermometer" the load twice a day. This first load has been kind of hectic with 3 pickups and 2 drops so haven't got around to the pulping yet.

I think in orientation he said to put some duck tape over the little back door and stick the pulp thermo through the tape?
