When time do you start driving and what time do you stop?

On average i try to start my days between 4-6am. Im usually ending my days around 3-4pm. Its best to start your days early so u can shutdown early and get a parking spot at truckstops. Truckstops start filling up around 4 and the later you get there its harder to find parking

Most good paying local positions require atleast 2years of long distance driving experience

Schneider. Them ugly orange trucks

 

[Blackout]

Yeah. I would enjoy that life. I got a DUI when I was 19 so truck driving kinda went out the window. I'm now a commercial and industrial electrician which requires A lot of travel I'm going to love being in a different city all the time. I hate being in the same place or around the same people for too long.

I did some pipefitter helper/boilermaker shyt in a refinery myself.

I traveled for a bit when I did that job too.

Well that was his best option for local work. He loves nights so he could be home with the kids during the day while his wife was at work. I'm sure he'll want a day job eventually

Gotcha. Do they run day cabs?

I'm with J B Hunt and all you have to do is tell them you want to go local and they'll begrudgingly start the process if there are spots open in the city you want.

And you tripping, breh. Nights are the shyt. No traffic and you don't have to fight for a spot at a truck stop when you're ready to shut down. Shheeiit if I could swing it I'd still be driving nights.
