So I'm just curious, are y'all...

1) OTR, typicaly on the road sleeping in the truck more than 4 consecutive nights.

2) Regional, typically on the road sleeping in the truck 4 or less consecutive nights.

3)Local, typically home every or every other night.

4)Regional/Local, some combination of #2 and #3.

5)CDL student

6) Retired CDL driver

7) None of the above

I think most of us are OTR or Regional from what I've gathered by reading WIIS posts over the last 4 years. But was just curious. As most of you know I was OTR for nearly 4 years, then earlier this year I transitioned to a mostly Local with a smattering of Regional runs.

Well wheel seal is finished. Brakes on that axle are finished. One more axle to go.

Pretty interesting really seeing how a drive axle seal is done.

The OM has come out of the kitty hole Freightliner installs in the back of the passenger side cabinets, to inspect the work, and is pleased so far.

Make sure they fill the axle with oil, and put the plug back in. Seems to be an epidemic of forgetfulness going around.

The OM is like," Let's break out some of those cat treats,"

I'm 50 50 for cleaning Delta P sensors. I went to Freightliner on the way home. Everything was shut down at 7 pm. Parts used to be open till 10 pm on a Saturday. Now have to wait to till Monday. Plus I have two leaking shocks, at least they went out with in three days of each other. Might as well change them all.

I really enjoy my weekend runs. Scales closed, No rush hours. Having an extra day to run it. Doesn’t seem like a job at all. Pretty much do whatever at whatever time I want. I can’t stand daily structured work or any structured activity for that matter. Like to make decisions at the spur of the moment, based on how I feel at any given time. That’s freedom. Dealings with others, be it insurance companies, Drs appointments, or the so called Authorities are minor. aggravations, that have to be tolerated.

A lot of my co-workers hate doing weekend linehaul runs, but for me those are a treat after busting my ### all week, especially if I can come in at 2-4 AM and do it.
