    Default off time

    The main question I have nowadays is how do you separate work time from off time. Right now I have a 30 minute drive to the office that is perfect for gearing up for work and cooling off on the way home. How do you guys handle it when home is a few inches from work?
    Some folks are wise, some folks are otherwise...

    I have a 140 inch sleeper with all the comforts so I just close the curtains and "That is work, this is home". The only time I am reminded is when I go out the back door and have to sit the BBQ on the front of the trailer

    That is what I used breakfast and supper for each day. A chance to switch gears mentally.
    Finding the right trucking company is like finding the right person to marry. I really comes down to finding one whose BS you can put up with and who can put up wih yours.

    If I'm at a dock, it's work. Any other time is off time.

    Not that I log it that way, of course - it's just attitude thing
