    We stop at the Loves on I-65 West after Indianapolis that has a McDonald's in it. I'm being converted into a Loves fan because their opening new locations with a McDonald's in it. I'm a big fan of their coffee. Best coffee on the interstate.

    Parked at the Flying J in Carney Point, NJ. I-295 exit 2C. Stop to shower then going to sleep till our load is ready at 2:30am. Off to Atlanta, GA.

    Well decided to get some testosterone and hit the open road. That last stretch was better then the stretch from Columbus to Richmond. Made decent time to Indy. Parked in the dock now. Nobody's here, but get unloaded in the morning then head to Lebanon to pick up some frozen pizza's or something going to Wally world in Clarksville, AR. I didn't even put a PTA because my hours were to low. But dispatcher decided to put that on me, and said to get as far as I can. I have 11:59 on the 70. Not losing any hours tonight or tomorrow. So guess they will figure something out or its going to be a little bit late. Back quiet. Time to Crush Candy.

    Sounds like y'all are having fun back east. At Joes Travel Plaza in Westley, Ca. Unload bout 80 miles up the road in the morning then buckle down to some serious trailer trucking heading east. Looks like if have to run 40 out of here will be fun to about Ar. Be safe and keep the shiny side up.

    I just spent almost 4 hours in the Love's McDonald's here in St. Paul, IN using the free wifi. Tmobile only has EDGE (2g) here plus I like to let my apps download through wifi.

    That's why I like to stop at Mickey D equipped Love's. The only one I've encountered without free wifi is the Odessa, TX location.

    The new Love's in Pecos, TX has wifi but the last two times I was there it wouldn't connect to the net. It was on but not connected. Which really sucks as I roam on AT&T or Verizon (which is actually an old Alltel GSM network) in the Pecos area.

    Arrived late afternoon today at Wakerfern Foods, Keasby NJ. Some sort of change has occurred because you used to could check in when you arrived and they unload in the early morning according to arrival check-in sequence. Now, the flunky in the guard shack say "check in after midnight" ... so the line to check in is going to look like the line to the last Rolling Stones concert ticket office with 70 drivers trying to be first in line waiting in the cold :biggrin_25513:

    They've been saying that at Keasbey for awhile now. Roll with it, check in at 11:59 while everyone else who was told that is napping. I've gotten in there at midnight, in a door by 0200, checked and out at 0500, but I was unloading myself and a regular (in there 3-5 times a week sometimes).

    I was here twice in the last 3 weeks (Wakefern/Keasby) once about 14:00 and once about 19:00 and they checked me in on arrival.
