    With the temps being so low,bh should be running cont,all it does is run the battery low.

    My last company had plugs you could plug in from the truck to the reefer,for that purpose.

    Woke up not feeling that great,knew it was coming on,think it's my yearly sinus sickness.

    I’d have done the same thing. Having all the correct credentials such as a passport, TWIC, and vaccinations warrants more pay. I’d say it’s the least they should do!

    Change of plans,they had me run a 150 miles north after my drop,to pu a empty reefer to take to Groveport.

    Should be able to beat the weather,than I'll have to take a reset will be down to about 45 minutes,with nothing coming.

    Has anybody ever ran down to Circleville to take a reset after dropping in Groveport?

    Yeah, lots of times. You got the Wal-Mart parking lot, you got the Wendy's, you got the Pilot and the Loves.

    These days, though, I just take it at Groveport and order pizza. But I think that option is not currently available given how they've roped off the bobtail parking at the moment.

    That new convenience store right across from the casino is a lot closer than Circleville, though. That's where I'd pitch up.

    It's amazing how quickly I went from "Can't wait until this place is open" to "Never going there except to scale out after picking up at Groveport". Just complete chaos under even at the best of times.

    Dropped my empty reefer in Savannah, and am now parked at the Port Wentworth Pilot. #### near every spot here is taken by a bobtail. Lotta folks sitting this one out, I bet.
