    It is a dump. Unfortunately I blew a brake chamber about two miles from here, and at the rate it was losing air if I wanted to go any further I would have needed to cage the brake and find a way to pinch off that line. Had I known this was going to happen, I might have just done that and gotten out of this area, but it wasn't supposed to take this long, and I didn't want to risk getting pulled in for an inspection with a caged brake. Oh, and my hours were almost out in the middle of all this traffic anyway.

    So here I sit.

    Armed guards there to protect the employees from the drivers. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the place....

    Boy today was one of those days that makes you think that the window lickers have it pretty good. Screwed up roads, delivery schedule was all effed up...not my fault but I sure paid for it...and one of the easiest loads I've ever had to tarp ended up taking nearly two hours to get done. Just couldn't catch a break today.

    But hey, I've got my home load on and three days to make a two day run...gonna do it in two, kinda miss my female diversion back home.

    Hope y'all had a good day.
