    HA HA. Mission accomplished. Some people get so aggravated because others don't live like they want them to. Get a life man. Why are you worried about how I'm doing my job? You seriously think a handful of drivers are going to control how the industry moves forward. I'm good but I'm not that good.

    Instead of taking a 34 in a dirt lot next to a customer or even a boring truckstop nearby I usually would stay further away at a truckstop close to things I liked to do.
    Like Vegas or other casinos or the TA right next to downtown Nashville. Near movie theaters or Applebee’s or Hooters.
    And the 34 hours goes by so quick like that.
    Be a tourist and enjoy your time traveling across the country.
    Maybe you’ll end up resetting in Mitchell South Dakota and you can walk up to the Corn Palace and take a tour.

    I usually Uber somewhere for some entertainment. Local sports bar, been to a few minor league baseball games. Uber has really changed the way you can spend tour time. Hardly ever spend it in the truck.

    It’s really sad the way society views OTR drivers.
