Yesterday was so frustrating, Houston traffic is bad enough but add rain and you might as well set the brakes on i10.
Pulled into the loves in Katy with no time left

I think my record is 16 seconds left. That was on the 14 though and included the time to punch out and all that. Would have had the extension if I needed it too that day. (Technically the drive time too, but I had a breakdown so the 14 started eating into it)
I think my tightest for just getting back on property was like 4 minutes. It was so tight they told me to not even bother bringing a set back, just grab a dolly and burn rubber.

Is that Schneider? No personal conveyance either. Sucks

Worse. It’s Stevens.

Well hello Stevens...Stevens here.

Marten, Steven's & Prime, KLLM have the loudest reefers in the truck stop. How do you guys sleep? Lmao. Serious question
Txtrucker45@reddit (OP)
Lmao….It’s just a comfort thing to me now, like white noise. But I can honestly say I’m glad I don’t park next to me, the reefer is loud as hell outside the truck.

I was there yesterday.
Was it the jack knifed burnt orange truck near the port that fucked you?

I’ve never driven with one of these computers before. It’s been about 29 years and I’m getting back on the road with Schneider, how do these things work?

Done that once. Got stuck in traffic because some idiots wrecked on the I-24 bridge over Nickajack Lake. Took me almost three hours to get past the accident scene. Pulled into my receiver in Humbolt, TN right as my clock ticked down to the last minute.

This happened to me yesterday. Coming outta sf with two hours on the clock thinking I’ll have time to spare before I shut down. Then the water main breaks on the bridge and I’m stuck there for an hour.

I was surprised you got a spot at the Loves in Katy then I saw you parked at 11am lol. Also I was in that shit yesterday and omg so many people wanted to go 45 in both left lanes it was so frustrating.

One of those days. Similar for me yesterday. Afternoon i80 west traffic through Chicago. Rain started coming down hard. Made it to the Sapp Bros in Peru, IL with 12 minutes of drive left.
What ELD is that? I like how it looks

It’s some cheapass samsung tablet running the platform science program

Been bouncing around from Dallas to Laredo the past 4 days. I keep saying you'd think the rain makes Texas tires melt. They are the worst drivers in the rain! Slowing down to 45, clogging up all three lanes and they all act like they're too scared to switch lanes in the rain. Thankfully I'm heading out of Texas after my reset cause I can't take much more.
