    USA has a new terminal opening up in chicago. I don't know the exact location yet but it is supposed to be operational in march. Hopefully its easier to get in and out of then our drp yard there,lol. Also in the 2010 fuel book we got back a lot of the pilots we lost and added back more TA's and Petro's!

    Saulk Village and Romar is the drp yards we have there right now. Saulk Village is not that bad but Romar is a PITA! They don't use Blue Island no more.

    Ahhhhh the Romar drop yard. Imagine trying to navigate to that place on your second day driving a truck :biggrin_2556:. Do they have those 2010 fuel books printed and available yet?

    I know the books are available at vandalia and van buren because my students have them when I pick them up. I got my book from vandalia. Yeah romar sucks, especially when cars are parked on both sides of the road or a short truck is making a del to the store on the corner,lol

    Not much point now, seeing as I left the company, but I'm glad they finally got those new fuel books in. I'd been looking for one for months.

    I'm assuming the terminal is in the same location as it was when I worked for USA Truck.

    141 East 168th St.
    South Holland, IL 60473

    Company given directions:


    I-80/I-294 W (or E) to IL-1 North (Halsted St).
    2nd Traffic Light turn Right onto E 167th (tight turn if there are cars there).
    Follow to the end and turn left at traffic light (Indiana Ave).
    Turn Right at next traffic light (168th) and the terminal will be on your right.

    Like the QC directions say... DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR GPS. You are not allowed to cross the RR Tracks by the terminal.

    Other ways you can legally get there.

    From I-94 (N or S)
    I-94 Exit 73A (US 6 West).
    Follow US 6 West for almost 2 miles (you will go through quite a few traffic lights and then under an overpass for RR tracks).
    After you go under the RR Tracks (has South Holland painted on the bridge) turn left at the next traffic light (Indiana Ave/State St).
    Follow that South until you go under another RR track overpass and then turn left at the second traffic light (E 168th).

    (The following was closed and detoured last time I went US6 from I-294, might be done now though).
    From I-294 Going South or North
    Take I-294 and take the exit for US 6 East (W 159th).
    Follow US 6 E for about 3-3.5 miles.
    Turn right onto Indiana Ave/State St).
    Follow South until you go under the RR track overpass and then turn left at the second traffic light (E 168th).
