Union trucking humor.

Young dispatch asking if I think i can do this trip within the hours of service rules.

Me replying- Definitely not do you have another idea i ask. Me knowing I’ll be passing at least three other terminals with freight i could grab. And that I could drop this set and it could be relayed.

Dispatch - Hold on we’re thinking of other options , then he comes back asking do i have any suggestions.
My response sir you figure it out I just work here. Thing is i always carry overnight bag if i have to lay in hotel on this turn bid IM paid to sleep I do not get excited . My friend who I’ve known for decades text me this video as we both sat in drivers area.
