    Never mind, I just read your post again. When you get finished in Edison you can pull away from the dock and park to take your 10 right there.

    Thanks JB that's a relief. I don't like going to the NE mainly because of parking. Second is traffic but knowing now that I can park at final customer to me that's 90% of the battle won already. I didn't mind that Stanly va load. My deIi gps to me right to it and had the truck right on qual com is a little off. I'm gonna send a message to my FM to correct it and make it more driver friendly. As we all know haveing good directions is half the battle won.

    Yeah Edison is a piece of cake. They have parking spots specifically for their OTR guys like us. Last time I was there I had less than an hour left on my click and took my break and left after rush hour. They will more than likely DHD you back to Richmond. Theyve done it every time I delivered there. For Brooklyn get the directions from the QC on Customer Info. They are dead on.

    Made it to BH without an issue. Lots of road construction going within a. Few milesfrom customer. Currently at Broklyn waiting for them to off load back 1/3 of trailer so I can get on over to Edison NJ. So I can start my break. Almost two hours waiting already.

    No baby boy yet... thats Aug 18. But I can't afford to do local anymore. Dennis called me and told me that the child enforcement agency sent an order to Abilene that I was required to carry insurance on my children. That with the child support is just too much for an hourly wage. The ole lady don't like it but I don't have a choice. The insurance thing is irritating because their mother has insurance on them but I have to because of the new insurance laws. Thanks Obama

    They have one of the new trucks on the yard today. Chrome deer guard. Loomed nice. Of course I won't get one. Dang! Take a look if you're around. I'm home until Tuesday since they screwed me up on my dental appointment. Have a good weekend everyone.
