TRUCKERS; ' How do you spend your 34 hrs?'

You know what the dirtiest words on tv are, right?

“Ward, you were a little rough on The Beaver last night”

 

I didn't think there was any other way. Im not living in a truck. Add up all the hours your in a truck, sleeping or not, your not home, adding up all the hours, less than minimum wages. a lot less. but we all have choices, I choose to get paid for my time in the truck, not sleeping in one.

 

That's like saying an airline pilot doesn't get paid for his time cause he checks in to a hotel befire his return flight. Or how about construction crews and engineers? Doctors during their internship? Etc etc etc.

 

airline pilots make mucho money, construction workers, mucho money, doctor interns, MUCHO MUNEY

 

you want to live in a truck 24/7 go ahead, today I had a lot of yard work to do, GOT R DONE, right now sitting in my lazy boy, another half hour, headed up to me Sterns and Foster mattress where momma is waiting. NIGHTY NIGHT

 

some of the airline pilots make lesso lesso money than you'd think. Plus interns intern

 

With the new personal conveyance relaxation, you could move your truck during your 34 to go exploring things. I'm thinking of doing it myself.

At the TA/Petro, used to be if you hit the $50 dollar threshold for shop work you could score a shower credit on your UltraOne card. Then they raised it up to $300 bucks. Well, I just bought an $1100 dollar supersingle, they told me wait 24 hours. It's been about 39 hours and the kiosk still shows 0 shower credits. This happened last time too when I got a $350 oil change service, no shower credit. So it appears they are only doing showers for the 60 gallon fuel purchases.

Today is Sunday, so nothing popping up for freight, got my 70 available, reefer washed out ready to go, I am not in the mood to pay $14 bucks for a shower again today when I have 8 shower credits at the Pilot just down the road a few miles. Plus there might be something interesting to stop at and explore on my time off, all Off Duty Driving since I am not under a dispatch.
