LOL, I'm with ya. I dont know of any t/s with shade. Maybe we're running in the wrong lanes.
I'm sitting here in Monroe, LA at the Pilot for my 10. I'm sitting watching trucks come in and grab their parking spots. Now I am still a rookie (sort of) and I can't help but crack up watching some of these guys try to park. Now granted we all have our "off days" sometimes but the effort some of these people put in trying to back into a spot is just comical.
Oh let me tell you about yesterday. I was at the Pilot at Albany by the terminal. There was a Warren truck pulled up to the yellow line. I pulled in, got my fuel. I didn't walk in figuring the Warren truck would move in a minute or so, then I would pull up so somebody else could fuel.
Lo and behold a Millis regional driver pulled in behind me. We sat there for 25 minutes waiting for this friggin truck to move. Finally I got P.O.'d and went inside and asked the manager to page the driver to move his truck. We had been waiting for 30 minutes at that point.
About 5 minutes later this fat ###### come strolling out with a Subway bag with like atleast 1/2 dozen sandwiches in it wiping his mouth cuz he couldn't wait to tear into them. What a douche bag.
Ok anyway I gotta pick up in the a.m. down the road and head to Richfield to drop off. Be safe out there! -
Im in WI - delivering tomorrow morning early in Neenah. So If I get a load going to Cherokee (as I usually do from Neenah) we should pass each other on 57 tomorrow. Let me know if your coming up that way - we'll meet up. -
You know i have that same problem down there but a lot of time it is one of our own regional drivers doing it. You were more patient than i would have been i give them about 10 or 15 minutes than i go and have them paged.

Spanky where you been runnin at boy? I'm still waiting to meet you.

Went home last weekend than took a load up to john deere in Janesville when i left the house than grabbed a 5 stop load out of there. The first stop was in Northwest corner of Ohio than had 2 more down in Mansfield and Mount Vernon Ohio. Next one was all the way over in lewisburg West Virginia and last one was on hwy 220 headed down towards eden. Sitting at the TA in Jeffersonville Ohio headed to Indianapolis for a 8 am appointment with a load of beer.

Well I made it to Richfield and here I sit for my 10. It was 76 yesterday in MO where I did my reset, I get to WI and its friggin 36 and snow plows still plowing the highways. Good gawd!
I gotta put my truck in the shop in the morn. I have had to fill the radiator 3 times since Thursday. I would smell antifreeze when I got out of the truck but no puddles and no visible leaks that I could see under the hood, so I don't know. I thought about the head gasket and Ryeman said the same thing, so we'll see.
But no load out of here til I find out what's wrong. I just hope it doesn't take too long. -
Good luck. Hopes its a.quick fix.

I didn't get my truck looked at yesterday. After taking my 10 and delaying my dispatch about 12 hours, I finally asked the guy at 11:30 any idea when it will get looked at he said no promises I can get to it today. I was a little miffed to say the least. So I said screw it and pulled my ticket and sent the msg to dispatch. If it breaks down it breaks down. It seemed like just about everybody there had an attitude.
