    Pulled the brakes at a fuel stop on I 78 Exit 30 in Alabama. Never seen this much parking here. Also glad my brain kicked on after 9 hr's of driving and said I was going into the Eastern time zone. Haven't been East in so long forgot about that little adjustment. Thankfully I'm still ahead of schedule. Wow I park away from everybody and here comes a dry box who wants to let my reefer purr him to sleep as well. Oh maybe this is why I like Reefers so much I'm claustrophobic and usually when they see that White T they keep it moving. We goneeeeeee.

    Parked on Killam Industrial Blvd here in Layoveredo. Unloaded at Costco in under an hour (love them!). Picking up a load headed to California but I'm dropping it in the yard as I'm due for a reset and day off.

    You are a life saver Red Foreman. Called the Snow services for washout and they stay open till 6. So I don't have to go out the way. I normally get it done at Turbo Truck center but they close at 5 and its almost 4 now, and these guys are taking their sweet time getting this beef out the trailer. Thanks a bunch my friend.

    Still here at the shipper. They had to wait for "instructions" on my load. Whatever.

    Glad that worked out for you Dino. They're good people to do business with when you're in the area.

    Oh Ya it was in and out. Bad thing now is a darn Prime truck got stuck leaving the Plant. So can't get my load out until they can get him unstuck. Might go ahead and take my 8 here.
