    Mojo, I hope you're not doing I-95 all the time, lol. Take the scenic route and stay away from the traffic. I left Trenton this morning. Suppose to be back there tomorrow if the ice roads here in Effingham get treated. Will see in the morning. Drive safe my friend.

    Sitting in Trenton getting in a 34. A couple other Drivers here doing the same. Good conversation. Wow the weather getting here from Philly was pretty tough. Bear popped in last night and I got the chance to chat a bit. Bear gave me a 12v lunchbox cooker that will heat up soup and such. Thanks Bear! I promised that I would pass it along to another newb waiting for an inverter after I get mine. I still haven't got the chance to have a meal with you yet Bear! but we will get that done. I am looking forward to watching some football this afternoon {even if the Mighty Cowboys aren't playing} Sounds like a new class is arriving in Trenton for classes on Monday. If I am still here I will pop in and say hello.

    Yea, I believe we go there quite a bit. Ive been there I think 3 times in 6 months. As far as parking there when your on hometime, im not sure. Thats something that you would prolly have to get with Patterson on and make sure its ok. If they dont let you, we have a terminal in Weedsport, NY thats not to far from there, and you could always park it there on hometime

    It's not secured parking, so probably wouldn't be a good idea. The terminal is like 30 minutes from there. That would probably be the best option.

    Hey Bear, Thanks for the tips on St Benard Soap. I would have to say definately not my favorite stop. 5 Drivers there, I can only imagine what its like when its crowded. On the positive side there was alot of teamwork and good manners between Drivers. You pull into this place and drop your trailer. Then you hook to the loaded trailer and pull it out of the dock, then drop it and go grab your empty and put it into the dock. I would say the tightest I have seen. Slooow loading also. I burned all but 15 mins of my 14 today and a grand total of 367 miles.:biggrin_2551:, Tomarrow will be a better day, open road. I want to give a shout out to Finally Truckin, he got his CDL and will be testing out soon. I missed you guys in Trenton today. I came inside but Bill already had the door closed. Do you all have "writers cramp":yes2557:

    So your basically being a yard jockey for this customer while you're there? Does this happen often here and elsewhere?

    There are a few places you have to spot your own trailers. As long as you aren't asked to spot other companies trailers. We will only move MILLIS trailers. Some places will try to use you to move other trailers.

    I don't mind if it means my trailer will be going in the hole. Just means less waiting around.
