    Back at home again. Dispatch wanted me to deliver the load yesterday insisting the customer was open till 8. I've delivered there before but they shut down at 5 then. Sure enough, I get there at 530pm and the last two guys are leaving.

    "We receive 8am to 3:30pm and close up at 5." I said "I knew it!" Called dispatch and they said just bring it to the yard, lol. kind of satisfying knowing you were right all along!

    Well guess it will be the Petro in Amarillo since they are taking all day to fix my bracket from an earlier blow out. Do another 4 hours and I'll have an 8 hr break. Get some night owl trailer trucking done. Already got a preplan for Nogales after I get this load off Sunday. Man I don't think I'll ever get a 34 hr reset in.

    Very lovely. Been here once before. Shipper had moved their entrance a while back but my company never updated that in the system. Had to have my wife back the truck into the street while I controlled traffic. Fun fun fun.

    Parked at the TA in Terrell. Amazing how lazy drivers are here.

    The parking lot is enormous. The last 2 or 3 rows are practically empty but the lazy drivers will double park along the driveway close to the building. Or they'll circle the front rows 2 or 3 times rather than go directly for the back rows like I do.

    If memory serves the ta in Terrell used to be a Rip Off's
