Over the road truck driver, traveling the lower 48 and sharing my thoughts about it.

View from the road

For all of you, or anyone who actually reads this that actually thinks trucking is some sort of glamorous. This is my current view for that last couple hours.

I can't believe how much time I'm spending sitting at a dock somewhere. It's getting so bad now that I probably sleep at a customers dock more then I do at a truck stop or someplace with some sort of services.

I really want to get home. I need a shower and a shave. Damn I really need a shave.

Well, guess I got to find another job again. Let's see. It's Wednesday? The last time I showered was Saturday morning. There just isn't enough time. Soon as I leave the dock here, I'll have to get this trailer washed out( ironic)  to pick up a load going to Los Angeles for tomorrow night.

I'll stay in quartzsite Arizona tonight and get a shower. But it's kind of funny that I can find the time to wash out a trailer, but not my ass...

Bad part is, yesterday I told dispatch that I could do this load. But couldn't do a Casa Grande. I just don't have the hours. Sent me the Casa Grande load anyway.

So guess I'll be late. I'm done telling them how short on hours I am, only to be sent runs I can't legally do.

Guess I'll be filling out job applications again this weekend.
