ABF | 8 hour work calls at hotel

On the road its all a big game to get your proper rest.If Im home I can mark back to start in 10,12,or 14 hrs. It helps control my start times and sleep patterns.If I get held out or have to lay some where extra long it screws it up.Running at night ,I can usually keep myself on schedule. If I get out of wack I either mark off (sick,vac,ato or run myself out of hours) The biggest problem is ato:If you run at night and get done in the A.M. you come back in the morning and vice versa. The company knows full well this screws up your sleep patterns and usually will say little if a guy runs long to take a nap.And if they do the answer is as simple as SAFETY.I dare them to tell me who is better at determining whether I can safely operate a vehicle,a member of management or myself.
 
Well,.....I like the "Shut up" part...... Nothing like shutting down dialogue and information sharing on an open board. Gee......I've only been driving 40 years,.....and I wish I was as certain of my information as he is,....so I could tell people to Shut Up , too. Must be nice to have the entire Universe imperiously whirling around you, so that you are able to dismiss people with a Regal "Shut Up".............There's a book, written by a certain Dale Carnegie,......called: "How to Win Friends , and Influence People",.................and I think there's at least an entire chapter on how to..........tactfully.......tell people to "shut up".....in such a way as to prevent most everyone from thinking you're a smug, self-centered, jerk.......If you'd like, I'll send you a copy........young man.....it can only help you throughout life,......and might even prevent waitresses from "accidentially" spilling coffee on you,........policemen from writing three or four tickets at a time,......and fast food workers from.....expectorating.....on your Big Mac........I'm only thinking of your well-being..........
