    Well according to Google Maps, it's a DC. I was sitting here thinking it was a store

    Many stores also love it when you get there early.
    Some, really don't.

    Not enough details as to the delivery. Is it a drop, or live unload?
    DC or store?

    Also, you are stacked with another load. Do you have enough time to deliver the first at the appointment time and still do the second with enough time?
    If so it doesn't matter that the first has more time than you would like.
    If not, then do a Mac22 to adjust the times for the second load.

    The second load picks up tomorrow (4/11) so I won't have no issues there.

    Yes, I know Walgreens well. Depending on what you have in the trailer, any where from 2-6 hours to unload and when mt, good luck finding parking. Sorry

    chillin at the wal mart across from my last stop for a couple hours. I had to do some shopping and wal mart is a bit cheaper than target.

    Instead of giving us a loaner they swapped us into a '15 pro star. I liked the cascadia but the pro star is a bit more team friendly. My co-driver has a larger bunk and a cup holder. And the truck only has 16k miles. This one seems to ride smoother than the old '11 prostar I had before the cascadia.

    The first day I was driving it I was thinking it was geared funny and I kept having trouble going from 4th to 5th. Then a while later I realized it was a 10 speed and the whole time I was trying to go from 5th to 7th. Now it seems to shift a whole lot smoother since I'm not skipping a gear lol.

    BTW the magnet that is used to seal the curtain closed is a great feature. I used to hate it in my old prostar because it is a little bit more tedious to close than Velcro but it is silent and that is nice in a team truck so you don't wake your co-driver if you need to get in the back for something while he is sleeping. It seems silly that road noise and the bumping of the truck won't wake me or my co-driver up but that Velcro would wake us almost every time.

    Here at the Peelot on McCarty. Hurry and get here and of course, no freight. It all of a sudden dried up. Mac 30 one time offered me a Wal-Mart to Wal-Mart load, 50 mt and 190 ldd, and of course plus one times. Nope. Going to Oppelousa is going the opposite direction of home time. Not even Command has any thing other than Denver. Seems that lately every time that I call from this area or Dallas, every thing is going to Denver, and pick up on Friday and del on Monday.
