Nice hustle but man those reefers ended in the east coast

Definitely going to be a struggle to say the least getting out of there.

The problem is drivers all want to park at the same time. In most of the country at 9 AM, 11 AM, or even 3 PM you can pick your spot.

On paper logs, if on a known route, operators could stop for food at a resturaunt. It stretched your day yes but a driver could avoid rush hour traffic.
We would stop at different times.
Parking was tight then however you could find parking after 9 - 12 midnight. Urban areas excluded.
It was less stressful then because a driver could listen to their body clock and work with cross country runs.
Now with e logs zero flexibility.
Ive had to avoid three incidents in one drive cycle. Left me along with 100 other trucks tringbto get into a travel center that was full...
My customer was 20 miles away. Under paper logs as long as we didnt go any further than we planned it was aok.

Not so with e logs, that rule didnt transfer....
Reduce taxes on full service travel centers in good standing and use eminent domain to provide ample parking etc.
To many nimby neighborhoods.
Make it happen.

Get rid of elog and they wont be a parking problem anymore. The elog got every trucker to shut down about the same time creating a parking nightmare.

The cost per parking spot is a massive rip off, the money is being diverted somehow.

As always typical bla bla bla at the beginning and must be skipped to 0:50

Planning ahead will save you so much grief. I literally never have a problem getting a place to park ever. Stop being a 9 to 5 trucker like an overwhelming majority of truckers. If you are doing the same thing as everyone else you are going to have the same problems as everyone else.
