    Obviously myself and a handful of other members made the mistake of "what would you do" as asking for advice. We obviously don't know your exact situation for this exact shipper and how they cattle prod you out of that dock only after holding you hostage for 7 hours but not 8. Perhaps this is just more of a rant on your part about how the world seems to constantly be dumping on you.

    Where
    Where at? Nowhere to sit at this place not even a place to stage to wait for a dock you just pull in front of trailers and keep moving when someone is hooking one.

    The yard jockey told me he has never seen anything like today how busy it was.

    You read that as a complaint? It was intended as an informative sentence simply stating that happens sometimes when you get sick. If I remember correctly, I went on to state everyone should at least quickly glance at their excrement in order to see if it all came out alright, to which you replied you do this practise also.

    I love me some Gerber green beans

    Anywhere in the yard or street all you had to do was stay behind the wheel so you could move back and forth to stay out of drivers way .
    Heck even on the steet and put your four ways on for 15minutes.

    After 1/2 or hour I would hit sleeper birth. They don’t pay you squat hourly sitting there anyways. You’ll get hourly pay regardless. I do that on a backhaul. I’ll hit off duty if it’s taking a minute. You’d only have to wait 2 more hours for your hours to drive and shut down whenever you please. Gotta stop following the rules by the book sometimes.

    The world is dumping on me? Lol why because I'm having tough days in trucking like everyone else does? Why don't you be a real man instead of testing my nerves looking for trouble why don't you pm me and we can meet up and you can let your problems with me out in person? That's how real man handle beef with another man with hands not words. Let me know. I just don't want you to continue having a problem with me so come on down and let's handle it like men. You sound like a #### because you keep throwing jabs on here at me come do it in person. Or are you a keyboard warrior?

    Always log sleep at the customer after you check in and while at the dock.
    Perfectly legal.

    You want to handle my own beef there Rambo...?? No thank you.

    I can see the angst quickly growing. I love it. Wonder what tomorrow will bring. Long line at fuel pump cause you to have to reschedule appointment? Ruined week down to 1500 miles? I am looking forward to the next crisis. I know! Dot will inspect you next week and give you an award for driving in the red today. That should be good. Hahahahaha
