    Your telling me this was a bad day for sure. Most daysdays can get up and at least back Indy.
    Back at the Gary Petro I spent 9hrs in Chicago area today getting unloaded and reloaded what the heck is going on.
    2.5 to unload and first reload was 2 the last reload stop was fast but with almost 4 hrs running 100 miles total around here was out of time on the clock. Oh well short run inthe Am then going to call it a week.

    Do have a ? That truck stop just south of your drop lot people bug you there. Almost pulled in butbut chanced making it to Petro only had 5min left when I parked glad it was somewhat light as I got on 80/90.

    Chicago is a union town for sure! Chased away alot of the conventions. People got sick and tired of having to have a union electrician plug in a stinking extension cord or light bulb at the trade shows. Quite a few are now being held in Vegas.

    Not normal for us to do a 2 stop pickup. 1 was in Arora and the other in Chicago off Keiser should have shot down to 55 back up instead of 290 and down. I knew this but got brave and went for the few less miles and no scales!

    Donna's north side of Seattle. Figured I'd run up through the mass of fools this afternoon rather than fight through them in the morning. Over shot the pickup by 30 miles but better here than the Pilot in Tumwater/Olympia

    Just turned on the bunk heater while I can have the windows down. Figured it would get pretty stinky but not bad yet.

    Double yellow...! Nice to "see" you here my friend... :biggrin_25519:

    I'm in WA now... arrived at this truck stop this afternoon and got a great spot...:biggrin_25519:

    Will deliver about 10 mins from here.... And then will head to south of Seattle for another pick/up...

    That Niagara bottling place... they should update their phone messages... it's worthless... You try to talk to someone and it's totally impossible... Don't know why they tell you to press zero for operator if that's an invalid number... :biggrin_2552: like so many other numbers they tell you to press... ... :biggrin_25510: But they do tell you to press one for English... :biggrin_25523:
    And the automated directions they give you.... totally wrong... :biggrin_2552: it goes to another business in another part of the town...:biggrin_2552: How bad is that...? :biggrin_25526:
    If I didn't have Google satellite to find out where their freaking place is, I would end up at another business in a dead end street on another part of the town... :biggrin_25510:
    I tried to reach one of the plants to leave a message but when I pressed the number for the plant, another automated message came on in Spanish saying, press this for that, that for the other... :biggrin_2552: totally screwed up.... I gave up... Will be there when I get there and end of the story...

    Ah... and the load that I will get there, will go to....

    Freaking Aurora, CO.... AGAIN... think will try to find a street where I can park on Sunday evening till my appt on Monday... cause I'm not parking at any of those Zoo's aka Pilot and FJ... :biggrin_25512:
