    At final in Phoenix 3 days (due Monday) early. They gave the choice of either unhooking from my trailer (if I wanted to sit in truck) or waiting in their air conditioned break room and leaving the trailer attached. That's a no-brainer. It's almost 90 and I have a black truck that I refuse to idle.

    Gonna spend a couple days at home then back out for 3 more weeks. Taking a week off at the end of the month for a family vacation.

    Sweetwater, TX. Drop this on the lancaster yard tomorrow morning, and hope that my trailer that I am picking up has arrived. Coming in by shuttle. Some of us know how lazy these shuttle drivers are(InnKeeper), then on my way to El Paso for a live unload on Monday and then a couple of days off.

    Near Philadelphia, PA at a Walmart.

    I picked up a load from a dock, and I had 1 hour 10 minutes left on my 11.
    I didn't make it very far with evening rush hour, so I headed for the Welcome Center on I-95 x1.
    I got there, and they don't allow overnight parking. 13 minutes left on my 11.

    The gal inside game me directions to a nearby Walmart were she sends a lot of people. It's only 2.8 miles away and I pulled in just as my clock hit 0, but I may have gone 1 minute over.
    Oh well.
    And now I'm not sure if I'm allowed to park here because Walmart does not own the property. I'm back in the dock area behind Walmart, tucked away in the corner where I won't block anyone.
    Hopefully no one will bother me.

    Son of a gun, I'm at the Walmart across the freeway getting supplies. What is their fuel price over there?

    Fuel in IA ... it's $3.79. ... If you have a smart phone, get the fuelbook app and the trucker tools app. If you don't have a smart phone, get one. You'll pay for it with your fuel savings.

    The MyDAT app is what I use. It has all current fuel prices, locates the nearest Walmart's, truck stops, scales, truck wash, truck service, truck friendly hotels, and rest areas.
