    I tell you what. Doing this linehaul thing and staying in a hotel overnight is kinda neat. It kicked my ### last night and I'm sure it will again tonight because they plan on using up the 14 but it's fun, never done anything like this before. I have always been super local p&d. My hat is off to you guys out there doing this 24/7 :notworthy:, it's not easy. I can see why so many people flunk out of this. I have been a professional driver for 20 years and it beat me up, I can't imagine what it would be like to someone who has only ever driven their Toyota Camry to the beach. 57 minutes to go until I hit the road again and as much as it beat me up last night and will again tonight.....I can't wait, it was fun.

    Its an hour not 30...and throw the garbage on the ground while you clean out your truck to rookie...last but not least just whip out your dick and pee on tire of a truck beside you.

    Having a sleeper makes things a lot easier. Stayin in a motel isnt as much fun to me.

    I only pee on the tires of dry vans and reefers. To show dominance.

    Oh I forgot this one and its very important...if you think the 5th wheel maybe dirty...dolly the trailers off and wash the 5th wheel with the squeegee...how could i have forgot such an important step in fueling up etiquette.

    Well my porch is 8'x24' and enclosed. The wife loves it. When its 30 below out side it is still fun to sit there and watch the snow swirl around the house.

    We all know. The real reason Tucker has no money is because he spent it on the lawn.

    Don't forget that the minimum speed limit when leaving the truck stop is 25mph.

    I should mention we do have a mud room out back as well. Tho it is only 8x8. The rest of the 8x8 is the basement access.
    The long overhang protects the propane bottle.

    CR England would say anything more than idle in second gear is going too fast

    Those drivers are just new and scared. Real truckers hammer down straight out of the island.
