    Had a regular delivery in Dixon, the customer had a full on hot water, soap injected wash bay. They wanted us to wash the loads, but not in their wash bay. So the only choice was 49er. To get truck, trailer and load washed, $185.00. That was only because the company had an account. We did get free overnight parking.

    I get a fuel solution there every trip up the 5. I went once and that’s all I needed to know.. Cluster-####. I avoid it as best I can.

    DEF doesn’t work most days. Can’t uturn out most times. Have to drive through the lot and they stack at the exit. Drivers just get out of their trucks and go into the store blocking the exit.

    Nothing like getting off the 5 to fight your way on the 80 and deal with that place so my carrier can save $.01 per gallon.

    I drive straight by and request a new solution when I get south towards Patterson.

    You have not had any fun yet. Then you will never get to visit the Vanco in Stockton.

    Ok.

    What’s Vanco Stockton. I feel like my growth as driver (I’m just big boned) requires I visit these places.

    Well my load was already T-called for Monday, not tomorrow. Soooo it will be a nice easy cruise back. Going to see if I can be a total scumbag trainer and make him drive, then do his 10 and make him finish the drive while I watch movies and yell nonsense and witticisms at him that have no bearing on things.

    He’s done after this. I’ll probably drive a lot just because I like to drive.
     
    Opus and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.
