    Made it to Gee Cee’s with 12 minutes on my clock. I’m beautifully staged for tomorrow now.

    Worth it.

    Right? Think id rather tarp for 3 hours in south alabama heat and humidity than deal with some of these dry van warehouses. Not sure how some guys put up with this stuff

    I’ve also got a story about how ####ed parking is here, and the diner is kinda packed with a bunch of drivers telling each other stories.

    Parking story... it’s really full for how I’m used to seeing it here. I went around to the west side since the other rows looked like a shopping mall at Christmas with drivers searching for a good spot close to the front door. Good luck with that.

    There was another truck in front of me and drove by this empty space. The way we went was set up for blind side. I’m like ok, he must feel really lucky. So I did that park where you wrap around and turn a blind into a sight side. I slide in and pull the air brakes. Grab my stuff to go in and grab a bite. I get out of my truck and the guy who was in front of me is coming back down the aisle and he’s yelling at me. I guess he thought I was a mind reader and knew he was turning around to sight side it.

    I don’t take people yelling at me well. I mean who does? Anyway I let him know he could go #### himself and it’s not my fault that he sucks at parking. Yes he drove for a mega and yes his English was atrocious.

    That’s it. That’s the story.

    Some guys just need to get told to pound sand! I took a spot about a month ago at the loves driver in front of me went to go around the truckstop to set up for blindside i whipped around the fuel island and turned around to hit it sight side, he cussed me out on the cb and turned on his cab light to flip me off. All i could do was laugh. But then i got food poisening that night so i guess that waa my karma

    This place is the worse . there is no frickin shipping office or nothing. Nobody to talk to about how long this frickin thing takes to get loaded.. Only a stupid mailbox that say "ur paperwork is in mailbox" ... And then "if u have no paperwork ur load not ready yet" .... I guess i will just go to sleep...

    Well I'm sitting at the rest area off exit 92 at the I-25 US26 Jct. in WY... DOT signs all say to expect 60+ mph wind all day tomorrow... But I'm super tired, and I plan to continue east on US26 in the a.m. hopefully 79,740 gross and mostly tail wind is good enough to go in the morning... Night Y'all.

    I have to drive into SA, get the paperwork for the load Ive had for over a week, meet another driver and give it to him then catch a bus upto Dallas to get my temporary truck.

    I still don't wanna get up.
