    Not the only one... Left Leesburg, Ga around 2am and ran US82 all the way from Albany to Waycross, Ga (headed to Jacksonville, Fl) just so i wouldn't have to touch the big scales. And when i leave Jacksonville, i'm going to call my dad first to see what's going on with US301 and then i'll use that to get south, well that's if they tell me to bring it on in to the terminal.

    Oh lord that place is a complete #### hole. I feel horrible for anybody that has to pick up or deliver there.

    But congrats on being a grandpa driver!!!

    I will agree decent people but like you said long day. I've heard many drivers complain about picking up and delivering there. That truck stop that's just south of peterbilt of Norfolk has some decent food though when you finally get out of there. Stay away from their little pizzas over priced and they taste horrible but the hot sandwiches aren't bad. Chubby is kinda hit and miss depends on the day. If you head south through Columbus on 81 there's a bar south of town a little ways they got pretty good food as well better than the truck stop and its rarely full and they have truck parking.

    Hope you get out of there soon driver. And once again congrats!

    I did get to sleep and they knocked on the door at 00:34. Very well organized place. Told the dispatcher to send me there as often as he likes!

    But did make the mistake of taking a whole tablet after I pulled out and parked as I expected to be able to get at least 6 more hours of sleep as I wasn't picking up until 13:00 but after I swallowed, looked to see how far I had to go and saw that I only had time for 3 more hours to sleep. :biggrin_25510: It was tough getting up!

    'olhand, melatonin is a chemical your brain produces that helps you sleep. As you age, you produce a lot less of it so taking a supplement 45 minutes before you want to go to sleep really helps. I really like a chewable called Tranquil Sleep. It works fantastic. You can probably find it at a health food store or order it from Vitacost dot com.
