Hi all. Was wondering what you did during your downtime/resets, etc. I'm just in CDL school now (will post about that in a seperate thread) but have been thinking about this aspect of the job a lot.

I used to do some writing and have several ideas for novels, short stories, and other writing projects and was thinking that being away from home, sitting in some truck stop may prove a good setting to start writing again.

So, what do you do?

Usually im at home when i reset, At least since i came off OTR, but before that, I used to read a lot, be on the phone a lot, watch some movies and eat way too much, catch up on paperwork and sleep, spend some time yapping with the neighbours and clean the cab of the truck. I barely have time to do all that till its time to go again...If I possibly can, I try to go see some nature, go for a walk or something other than breathing fumes. Often, you can find a car-rental place locally for a day-trip. they love truckers

 

I crochet.

 

Knitting is good too

 

Talk sht on the CB (suprise suprise!! :lol: )


Play my PSP. Ponder the meaning of life.

 

Porn is always good to when you been out here a while.

Just kidding, I prefer the lot lizards.

again kidding.

I type on this website like im doing now at the truckstop, movies, eat, I dont do the CB thing. To many 123holes out there. I am a big poker player obviously by my avatar so i play on a gambling website and gamble.
