Also put down the passenger side sun visor and use the vanity mirror when blindsiding it will give you more view of what you can’t see through your main mirrors .

I used to work at a warehouse where I was the head shipper. Every truck that needed to be set up was handled by me. If something left that warehouse I knew about it and I was the one who personally dealt with all truckers. It blows my mind how I always see constant videos of truckers having to wait absurd amounts of time to get loaded. If I set you a time to come pick up a load for us best believe as soon as you pull up I drop everything to come load you up and get you back on the road as fast as possible. I'd have some drivers who I didn't even have pull in because I'd load them up in 5 mins and have them moving again. It's like people want to do the bare minimum and don't care about other people anymore.

[@crazyrmj2580]

Bless you because some DC are absolutely trash

[@nomaderic]

@@crazyrmj2580 it takes me less than 10 minutes to load up a truck with a forklift and pallets. There's no need to make a driver wait who obviously has other places he needs to get to. It's insane how people schedule drivers to come pick up their product then treat them like crap when they arrive

Save your receipt for the shower. If the company does not re-imburse you, you may be able to claim it as a business expense. Check with your accountant. Safe travels.

[@nobull4414]

Company reimbursed showers? I drove company for 30 years and have never heard of that. Thanks to Republicans, employees have very few "business expenses," and such deductions are so watered down they tend not to be worth it. Besides, every time you fuel you get points on your card for free showers, and food, and stuff.

[@skidude02]

Hey Alex. I realized on this video that I stopped at that same rest stop likely on the same day but later in the afternoon after you. What's hilarious was I knew the rest stop was there (and planned to stop there) and I got stuck in traffic coming up from downtown Cincinatti and had the same issue and I had a "need to go" bad. I wanted to make darn sure I didn't miss the exit for it because I knew I would not make it to the next one about 35 mins down the road. On that trip I passed several other GP trucks but unfortunately they were not you.

[@Houndini]

Trucking is hurry up don't be late. To setting waiting sometimes for days. There is no middle ground on this process. A good spotless clean hot shower is just about worth the money than trying take 1 & looking at mold & scum all over the place.

Most corporate truck stops such as loves or Pilot do not charge a truck driver to park there. However they will charge you for access to their showers as well as access to their Wi-Fi if they have it and then of course you have to pay for all the other services inside the truck stop including laundromat services. Some truck stops have gyms where you can work out but I'm not sure which ones charge for their use if they charge at all.
