    I propose we lobby @MACK E-6 to change @ExtremeUnction's title to, "Paragon of Patience, Virtue, & Indian Cuisine".

    When did BH in groveport become a-holes and change the policy? Now when they call and say, your load is ready....you cant BT to the guard shack and go in, you have to walk to shipping office 1st, get paperwork, give paperwork to guard, then get in your truck and go in and get your load. The way they acted towards me for coming up to the gate without paperwork, you'd thought I had slapped one of their kids. Calm down rent-a-cop....its not that serious.

    That's a new one on me. I was there a month ago and they weren't doing that.

    "Paragon of Virtue" is well above my pay grade.

    Besides, I don't think that title is compatible with the porn store in Pliny.

    I had a 5 stopper with those same coolers going to Chicago. Not one store knew anything about them. By the 3rd stop I my patience had run out. I walked in, asked for confirmation of store address, and date on the BOL, TOLD the receiver they were getting a cooler, had them sign the BOL, wheeled that sucker off and left it in the middle of their stock room.

    Not one, but two accidents on southbound I-95 between DC and Richmond today. my current load, due in Sandston, was going to be 30 minutes early. Now it is going to be over an hour late.

    My load assignment says that it is a live unload, but my DM and the receivers themselves both say it's a drop. So neither one seems to be concerned. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Just got to the Petro in Ontario to start my 34. My 4100 mile adventure is over with. Just to make sure I know how to back up without hitting anything, this last drop was the hardest one I’ve ever had to back into. The real hard part? G.O.A.L about 10 times. But it’s all good, nothing got hit, knocked over or brushed up against. I did make a new friend though, this cute Mexican woman with the hour shaped figure came over when I finally hit the dock to tell me how impressed she was with my backing skills. I thanked her and told her that I haven’t hit anything in 40 years doing this, I’m sure not starting this morning in Santa Ana.

    I do have a reload assignment. Hook a loaded trailer in San Bernardino when my reset is up and drag it to West Memphis. Right now I want off of this night garbage, 6 days of this insanity is enough.

    Took me a minute to remember there was an Ontario, CA. I was thinking you were driving from Toronto to San Bernadino and man, that's a helluva deadhead.
