    Agreed, we have same problem at the company I’m leased to. I call them fair weather drivers.

    All day today the QC and app has been blowing up about feeding the masses at the various terminals. Yet again I need to respectfully decline the invitation. I have work considerations that will be taking up my time. As important as it seems to be for the company that we have something of nutritional value, I plan on getting a tornado off the Loves roller grill and sending in the receipt for reimbursement.

    I don't eat that roller grill stuff even when it's free. Petro/TA recently had a deal where if you buy two coke bottled products you get two roller items free.

    An emphatic no thank you. Cashier looked at me weird.

    I’m very regular with my morning constitutional, when I get off schedule it’s right to the roller grill. Works every time.

    No thanks. Last time I ate something off the roller grill, I ended up in the ER.

    Any of my Abilene homies answer a question for me? Has anyone ever loaded at the wood plant in Monticello Arkansas, and if so, do you know if they’ll load a reefer?

    Got the Volvo Byhalia --> Volvo Jax run for the first time in ages. Apparently they've allowed us to turn their lot into a drop lot for Abilene. Had about 8 trailers parked there, plus three unattended tractors.

    Put in a solid 10 hours of driving today. Tomorrow, I go to the port to pick up something headed to Knoxville, TN.
     
    Finfn1372 Thanks this.

    Dropped my Mt. Crawford off yesterday and only shorties available either yard so I picked a Lowes load off the Wytheville yard going to Garysburg, NC which I dropped this morning then got bounced to Brother in Richmond going to Bartlet, Tn. which Ill drop tomorrow afternoon. Be a good week this week, turned out better than I thought.
