10 Teddy Bear Time

Like we used to say out on the road when our driving hour were used up it's 10 teddy bear time and we would head for the bunk. Then after 8 hours off duty we were ready to do another 10 unless we can get where we were going sooner. Then unload, reload and head somewhere else. When you get your week in you covered 3500 miles and may get a day or day and a half at home. Then you leave Sunday night to do it all over again with hope you won't have to run through the weekend. Sometimes you do and spend 2 or 3 weeks straight on the road. The single guys have it made because it keeps them busy but the married drivers miss a lot of their kids childhoods. You really have to like it like most of us do or did since I'm retired now.
