Moving On....

Was just listening to that song on my blog, so had to use it as my next blog title, LOL. Anyways, I've been sitting in Chicagoland now for 34 + Hrs, and yes, I'm ready to get moving on!!!!!!! This is the hardest part of this job!
It's not the long hours behind the wheel, driving threw every known wheather conditions, or road hazards; It's not the dropping and Hooking, or trying to find customers addresses while worrying about getting lost and ending up in non-truck friendly areas (which happens way to often, LOL); It's not trying to dispatch myself on the perfect loads, or trying to find a load to get home with; It's not even trying to drive threw New York City (allthough that would be a close second, LOL);
It is most deffinantely the long breaks away from home that are forced on me by DOT regulations!!!!! 34 hrs is a long time to be stuck in a truck doing nothing, but being bored! Can't figure out why the DOT would think that would be better for a driver than just working and running until we get home, while obeying the other log book rules such as the 11 hrs a day driving, and the 14 hrs a day consecutive on duty and/or driving. That is what is wrong with our government, and our country, too many laws, rules, and regulations that are stupid and useless!!!
Tomorrow morning I will get up after sitting for over 40 hrs to go pick up a load going to Lawrence, KS, and I am so ready to get Moving On!!!!
