    Told ya we were going to cross paths in Alabama... I ran west to east through Birmingham about the same time.

    Hey Chuck... I know we were supposed to park in the drop lot in Atlanta too on the company side at one time. Is that still the case?

    Miami, Atlanta, Memphis, Dallas were always noted by security as being "bad" for theft and break-in's.

    Bullpen at Publix in Dacula for a very o-dark-early appointment.

    I did not know about that policy, but now I do, I always try to avoid that area altogether though

    at my 90 in Lakeland fl, one of the easiest places to find but had bad direcs from the reciver (publix) and the Qualcomm, luckily found a spot just big enough to swing around and found it

    Those Dallas truck stops serve pizza with a side of lead salad. West Memphis is more well known for reptiles and nose candy.

    thats actually news to me. I didn't know that company drivers were required to park in the west Memphis dropyard .

    The Sapp Bros is a much preferable venue to the Commerce City TA... aka "Ontario much further east."

    I was at the east denver TA once and there had to have been easily 3 vagabonds per truck. I mean these were the guts who sit on your steps and refuse to move till you give them money.

    A swat with the tire thumper will usually fix that.

    You ain't kidding. Not too long after I quit Schneider, one of their drivers was robbed at gun point and shot....on Schneider's secure lot. The thugs jumped the barbed wire fence. IIRC the driver survived. The south side of Dallas is all kinds of bad news.

    Somewhere in CT, camping in Wally's back yard.
