Was it a motor coach,school bus or rapid transit bus? I’ve seen a few rapid transit buses in the area being delivered from the New Flyer bus factory up in St. Cloud,Minnesota.

Drove an hour and a half from the dairy out in The country in Darlington to Beloit Wisconsin so I could get a steak and a beer.
Caught the last parking spot at the J and struggled to get in it but the guy next to me came out and spotted me and they me some advice.
This was my first day with my Western Star 4900 60 inch bunk and only been driving 3 weeks and my previous truck was a kenworth 6800 with a 36 inch bunk.
So a bit of a learning curve because a Western Star does not cut like a Kenworth or Frightliner.
Cops came and I filed a report for work. No camera footage at the J and it was 500 feet from the highway so quick escape.
Pissed me off because all work did was hang new mirrors and a stack.
I buffed out the paint but they left the cracked fender and dented and bent air cleaner.
I hate my stuff looking Ghetto
Oh and the guy that helped me get into the spot the night before is the one that hit me. Some Sub contractor driving a dirty ragged out old Chicago truck.
Tiger Logistics was the name but it didn’t exist according to my work who followed up on it.Bud A. and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -

Several years ago there was a nice fellow, a civilian who started a conversation over in the truck stop thread. He is a successful real estate developer who has built several trucking related facilities, mostly terminals. He has been working on a concept called Line Haul Station a combination drop lot, nice parking areas, clubhouse with eating area, showers, fitness facilities, truck wash, tire and repair shop. In short, everything except the fuel, but located in the most convenient spot in any given market. Keycard in and out, 24/7 staffing to keep the riff-raff out. Plans on many of these things, also equipped for the future if needed, EV, Hydrogen, autonomous trucks whatever might happen
He has approached all of the Megas, major shippers, everyone in the business. They all love the idea, no one will spring for the dough to get it started. They would rather have their trucks hit every single night instead.
