I will have to say the Red Rooster Truck Stop is not that bad. Their showers are clean. The food is ok could always be better but its not bad at all LOL

Does anyone know how easy it is to get a load out of Arizona after home time?

Shouldn't be bad, Central has a drop yard in Phoneix at Thermo King.

My wife used to love the Red Rooster! Your right though not a whole lot of parking there.

A lot of times those mudflaps get pinched off when drivers back up and hit the curb. Whenever you can get an old one keep it. There are so many uses for old mud flaps. One really good use is I would cut little strips off and wrap my hoses, wires and lines wherever they would rub. Then you just zip tie it tight and WALLA!!!!! Now your hoses and such won't break! You can also tear little tiny pieces and stuff them in rattling dashboards and such. You can lay on them to work underneath your truck. Use them as floor mats. Use them if you get stuck to put under your tires for a little grip.

Sorry I got a bit mud flap excited!

Hey its ok to be excited about mudflaps. You have a lot of good uses for broken ones. The parking lot here is slick right now. I shouldn't have any trouble getting out. I have to start early tomorrow I have to be in Champagne by 7am to pick up my load to take me to Bethlehem PA. Woo Hoo!!!

It is a lot easier than getting out of Florida. That's where my second load this week takes me. I just hope that I don't get stuck there more than a day I need to run.

Smurfette, you ain't lyin! I live in Fl. When my wife and I used to team at Central a lot of times we would leave the truck in Conley and take our car back and forth. It cost so much money in fuel and most of the time our load picked up in Atlanta. Plus it was quicker and we didn't have to run logs on the way home. We aren't far from Ocala so it wasn't too bad.

Hey Smurfette, that was an old run of mine allot of the time.

Then they will send you to Johnstown out of Bethlehem, and if you are really lucky they will send you to Avon Ny for a run to Independence MO......
Nope, I do not think they will do that to a new driver. I would hope not at least.
Great run, but the caves there get tight.
