I use my computer and read the TruckingTruth forum, like I'm doing right now. I got here right on time for my appt (I meant to be earlier but stuff happened), and they told me they are running 3 hours behind.

SLEEP lol. The loading/unloading process rocks me right to sleep. I usually have another trip already set up by the time I deliver, so I'll also use that time to plan next trip.

Same here. Trip plan or read TT. Sleep if I can but usually cannot.

I do dry van so I rarely sit at a dock. The longest I have was four hours because I was late.

Dry Van:

A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.

It's summertime, so I've been counting the links in my snow chain cross-links to make sure they are all equal.

Trying to keep up on my Quantum physics project and when I do serious Dock time I pull out my Kindle and read. Reading The Wheel of Time Series now that is like 14-books at about 30 hours a book. So in about 10-years I should finish it. I also have an iPod with music and Audible audio books on it...all mentioned above are one stop shopping at Amazon.
