June 8 – We sleep until about 8am then get up. My trainer gets a phone call from his DM (driver manager) asking why we weren’t rolling yet and he explained to him that we had to take our 10 hour sleeper break. Ends up they get into a big argument on the phone. Instead of repowering the load we went ahead and took it all of the way in. We actually got it there and only 15 minutes late. The shipper didn’t mind as they were just happy to get the load.
On the way from Casper to Cheyenne we ran out of fuel and had to sit on the side of the freeway for 4 hours or so. We finally got going and to the truckstop around 1:30am. That little incident cost my trainer around $600.
