Parked Here for the Night

Well dropped my load, picked up a trailer favor for the company and am in Charlotte Nc till the medical supply recieving opens at 4am....

 

I take a coupla days off of here and it's gonna take me all #### night to catch up on things. Just a cursory glance, and we have flirting, mushrooms, wavy hair, etc. Sitting at the Petro in Monee Il. for my 13 hour break. Loadin in the AM in Chicago Heights, then southbound and down. Trying to line up something good for Monday. Check y'all in a bit!

 

Parked at the recievers in St Peters, Mo. Left Villa Rica, Ga this morning at 4:45. Made it through Atlanta easy breazy before rush hour...course I hit rush hr in Nashville, Tn though... still better that Atlanta though...
Got through St Louis about 15:00 ... so good timing all around. Gotta LOVE recievers that let you park onsite!
Took my break at the Paducah, Kentucky Pilot on 24. Quick shower and transflowed some paperwork...

Unload at 9am, then deadhead to Granite City, Il AB and head to Grand Forks, North Dakota...., then a load of french fries to Goldsboro NC and home for 6 days.....oh yea... about 10,000 miles in 25 days.... thats with a reset and a night at home.....
Ps: Monteagle is a breeze with only 29,000 in the box!!
Great day!! I love days I just drive!!

 

Bogata Texas so full I can't move

 

I have long found that "mute" button to be a very handy feature.

Good luck balancing yourself out! Haha! Just hope you don't tip the always closed scales out there eh?

Awaiting 5am at a shipper, listening and feeling strong winds attack my rig and trailer. Rocks you back and forth just enough to...

 

Tommy Brooks Va....in my secret private pkg space...that comes w/personal wakeup call and DD....&all this fer the cost of one DD coffee box&a dozens do--nutz fer the crew....well worth it....

 

Homestead...

 

Parked near Siemens in Southaven, MS. 5 am delivery, but it's a drop and hook account. Don't know why they say 5am, they don't get going until 530 almost 6.

 

Everybody gotta start some way... Every "experienced" truck driver was a "rookie" once in their lives. IMO, no matter how long one takes to back, as long as they don't hit anything, that's OK...
And if they get someone to spot for them, so what? Good for them... Better than hitting something...
If I see someone having difficulty backing, I don't watch and get "entertained" by that... or make fun of them... NO... I go out and ask if they need any help... I have done it many times... I am glad to help a "rookie" or whatever they are... As I like when someone offers to help me if I am having difficulty...
I don't park much at truck stops, specially those congested Pilots and TA's and FJ's at night... I am not a great backer... And I hate to think that I am some kind of "entertainment" for folks that have nothing better to do than watching someone struggling... So, I turn my cb off and ignore those windshield "watchers" as I call them...

 

I disagree... there's a popular Brazilian saying... "there's always an old shoe for a tired foot..." or something like that...
Besides, some ladies DO like 62 yr old bald guys... Remember what you always say, "Thank God for women with "bad" taste..."
