Question:
Would you rather take a job paying $26 an hour (running relays) with overtime after 8 and working about a total of 50 to 55 hours a week, home daily
Or
A job paying like $30 (or 0.72 cpm depending on distance/route) an hour at around 50 - 60+ hours and you're kind of on a swing shift (days and nights) until you can get something assigned to you permanently via bids and also required to do some hours of dock work from time to time. also home daily.

General trucking question: as far back as I can remember, I've seen big ass trucks sitting in large parking lots. Whether at a strip mall parking lot or whatever else. No driver in sight, and I've even passed them multiple times in the day and still see the truck there. Out of pure curiosity what is happening in those cases? Is the driver in the back of the truck sleeping? Or do truckers leave there trucks in parking lots and head off separately to a hotel, or to eat etc?
Could be either case. I'd lean more towards somebody in the sleeper knocked out taking their 10-hour reset because if they leave the shyt there unattended for too long it's liable to get towed or ticketed. Or broke into

That is a great job, hold on to that for dear life lol. Trucking jobs that are local with predictable consistent routes are a gold mine
