    The Pilot in McLean has a great buffet. Used to be called Dixie truck stop. Oldest truck stop in America.

    Got up around 7 central unloaded then 1.75 hrs south 65 miles reloaded Chicago Heights pull into fuel station 1/2 mile from yard with 1min left before my 8.
    Got some of the best chicken strips around.
    Quick stop at yard dropped trailer in Bedford then went home. Don't deliver the load till 830 so sleep in and at the house:) Partly makes up for not seeing the house this weekend.
    When will these cars learn not to wait till the last second to get in the lane they need or not to shoot out before solid lines end?
    65 miles between drop and reload 2 wrecks east bound and one westbound. I hate that East 94 South 57 split cars and trucks run hammer lane till the last 500 ft all the time causing all kinds of trouble.
     
    TruckDuo and Rocks Thank this.

    Since you had to give me this shout out. I will gift you all with the whole story.

    I am and have always been a gamer. I don't play the shooters simply because I suck at them and can never practice ( always driving ). I enjoy the Dungeons & Dragons genre. Years ago (late '90's) I used to play an online game called Everquest. I created a Barbarian warrior. During the course of leveling said character, the programmers decided that once you achieved level 20 ( 50 was max at the time) you could give your character a last name. Many hours was spent coming up with a last name befitting of this Barbarian warrior named

    Jokum Ukumfe..........think about it!! :biggrin_255: :biggrin_25525:

    Me, my dispatcher and my planner all made the same mistake too. Since they are all the same person I had to find a mirror so I could yell at them for poor planning.
