    I'm being loaded. 0400 here. Usually role out of house about 0130 to get Casper. DH to house, load up food, clothes and cats. Go back, get trailer. Fuel. Gonna get washed before I split. Poor Casper looks like he hasn't been washed since he was built.

    I can't wait to see two of the Jack ##### driving autos through the truck stop, beacon, shipper, etc, doing 25 or 30 mph get into a huge collision.

    I’m at the Commerce, Co. TA. Fueling. I’ve got a hard delivery time at 8am. They don’t like it when you’re early. Soooo a little brekkie and fuel up and then hurry up and wait.

    I'm at The Beacon and they only have one lane open. Probably cause it was 0430 when I got here.

    But this is the busiest Beacon in The United States.

    3 trucks in front of me. Now two more behind me.

    At home now.....however......
    2 days ago, had to get up at 0300 to be on time for a live at 0930.....
    Get there on time....wait.....wait.....wait.....
    After 5 hours I asked the dude when I'd be ready, he said it might be a while. So I said, fine.
    I'm going to go to sleep when can I pick up the trailer. He said at 0200, or wait until the next shift at 0600.
    So, I'm up at 0130, get the trailer and roll on.

    I'm home, wide awake at 0430.....
    No rest for the weary

    This is for every trainee and for those that have an excuse for everything...

    And especially for REDACTED.

    I can't take the pain. I think it would be a lot cheaper and faster to just let Casper go to hell, and drive around in a dirty truck until it just stops running.

    Overheard at the TA was a person who ordered a steak Well Done and then complained about how long it took.

    If you take a nice cut of meat and turn it into a door mat and then complain you should go on a special government list that prevents you from ordering steak in a restaurant.
