    They don't route me, but they do give us directions in to all our customers, but all my maps GPS and t/s guides are in my truck.
    Also have the directions into the customer also in my truck but I think I remember seeing 376 to us 68?

    I'd be looking hard at the Kmart parking lot NW of I-385 exit 31. Satellite view shows trucks in there, so promising. The Walmart just down the street isn't listed in Truck Stops Pro app, also no trucks in the satellite view, so probably posted no trucks or has barriers. About 8 mi away from where you're going.

    I've been busy doing regional stuff lately, but got a lil greedy and accepted a Texas LTL journey that loads tomorrow. Stops in NOLA, Houston, final in SA,TX. RGV is probably starting to hop these days, so the return trip will probably come from there on Friday.

    Conoco in Greeley CO.
    Did I ever express how much I hate meat loads .
    you have to take a 10 hr break before they will let you pick it up all because some people don't know how to plan their time according. My rollover hrs are gonna suck in 8 days . Lol
    good thing I will be home by friday.. :yes2557:

    Oh well might as well get some sleep , as long as no lizards knock on my door. :biggrin_25524:

    yup drop right in the middle , some guy cam wheeling up and said " hey , you need to move so I can back into a trailer ".
    hahaha. Hmmm try again a little nicer maybe .
    they should have left me leave because now its snowing , and there calling for 4 to 8 the radio said .
    I had 9 hrs of drive time when I showed up so this break is worthless.

    I wouldn't call it exactly worthless, tangerine. Inconvenient, maybe, but use it to get some shut eye. Eat when you can and sleep when you can!
