    Well, I rolled from the Petro in Ontario at 05:10. Got parked on Bandini Blvd at 06:20. About 5 minutes from the receiver. Did two hours split sleeper, then arrived at receiver at 08:30.

    Checked in with the guard and found out that my appointment is the next appointment on his list but no open doors and no room to park on site.

    So I'm back parked on a side street waiting for "the call"….........

    Was empty at 10:00. No issues.

    Scaled at Speedy fuels a couple miles away. Next shipper requires an empty scale ticket.

    Parked briefly on Sheila behind the 7-11 while I picked up lunch at Burger King and ice at the 7-11.

    Headed back to parking on the side of Bandini Blvd a half block from my pickup.

    Pickup at 01:00 in the morning heading to Farmington, NY terminal for a B Service and then on to my two drops in Hatfield, MA and Wilmington, MA.

    That’s why you park as close as possible to your delivery
