I keep saying it you are a lot nicer then I. If I have appointment time and I’m there on time and they say they don’t have time for me go to truck stop they’ll call I tell them don’t bother I’ll get another load. After 28 years I don’t have the patience anymore to sit and wait. I understand your position your going to bed.

I have never ridden in a big truck like yours. But when I'm driving home late, an I pass a truck stop lined up with sleeping truckers, I am instantly sleepy 😴 🥱 It is totally psychological, but gets me every time! I imagine them all cozy inside their trucks, with the engines humming.... 😂 I'm immediately ready to crawl into bed!

Sounds to me like your travel agent needs to talk to that shipper about getting you some detention pay. I find it hard to believe shippers haven't got it through their skulls that you can't drive all night, then stay awake at their beck and call, then get enough down time to be legal, before your required to drop off or pick up your next load. Let alone the domino effect on your schedule and how that affects your earnings. They should be compensating you.

There we were in the deepest darkest sh*t in Vietnam. The year was 1980 I was new boot. My first day in this place they called The Nam. My partner and I were assigned to a special outfit. We drove subs in MeKong Delta but we kept running aground. The last time we hit a pedestrian and we’re grounded by the man. They gave us one of those subs with no sonar(Zero pings please) No periscope and no maps.Damn the man Schmidt,I refused to cave into the man…………. I was just gonna ask you about the Merch……Did you get in the Extra-medium hat I asked for?? They been on back order quite while.
