52 hours??????
Amateur

Some of us consider 48 hours to be a 'normal' week.....slacker....

You all are a bunch of slacker. Don't even think about getting in the trucking industry if you can't handle 70 hours a week.

anything over 43 hrs a week and i am ready to bury people

Well I thought firearms were an expensive hobby....dont ever get into cycling...entry level bikes start at like 3k! This is gonna kill me. Also if anyone ever tells you working for a railroad is a good job...careful its a trap! Contemplating finding something else...

If your not planning on racing you don't need anything like that. Don't worry about the weight of a bike unless you don't have anymore to lose yourself. For recreational riding just buy something a step or two up from the entry level bike at a decent bike shop. Better yet, buy something off of craigslist

But, I wanna go fast! In all seriousness though I am in pretty good shape, absolutely no weight to lose. I have what they call a dual sport bike or what trek does anyway....I want to be the guy pulling away from others not trying to catch up and I have pushed my bike as fast as it will spin.

Got my car back tonight. Looks good, but there's a small chip in the glass. Gonna see about getting it filled this weekend. Its nothing major, about the size of a piece of dirt, but its right in my line of sight, and I know it'll drive me crazy. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about trying to get the dealership to fix it. I've heard stories about soft glass on the newer Passats.

Was it part of the accident damage? If so, it should have been taken care of on the insurance company's dime.

Yeah, me too. 70 is an easy week for me.

 

[CTC B4Z]

All put in very long hours here

There are so many reasons ahead of 70 hour weeks that would stop me from wanting to drive a truck.

I don't track how many hours I work. Don't really care. Then again, I get paid the same no matter how many hours I work.

I can legally work up to 70 hours a week under DOT hours as a over the road driver. We recap are hours, we don't do a 34 hour restart.

Gotcha. We are only allowed 57.5hrs by us a week and cant work more than 6 consecutive days in a row. (Company Policy)

I wish that was are company policy. Even being off 72 hours this week I'll still hit 50+ hours for the week.

 

[xfrostybeersx]

I average about 50-54 a week and thats perfect for me. Of coarse I only get 40 this week. ;( vaca is almost over!

The one think I realy like here is that are vacation is paid on your average work week.

That's how Schneider was but I wasn't there long enough to take advantage of it lol

 

[danmdevries]

Speaking of hours, less than 30 hours until beerfest!

 

[bradmedic04]

beer is good, as are festivals that don't feature music by Phish. When you going?

 

[chef larry]

Poking my head in to see what's up....

So my computer is still out of commission.... Need a new motherboard and don't feel like buying a new one. Decided to get a 2014 GMC Sierra instead.

Did I miss anything important?

Still moving out west?
