    Trucks parked at pilot, I'm parked next to d wifey at hospital. Arrived in the city 11:20. Darn okie scales at Texas border was having a field day. Got a work out in picking up my load out of cactus. Trailer legs were super high, and space was super narrow, but after 20 minutes or so. I was ready to go. Back on the road tmrw. We back quiet.

    At loves on 69 in Marion Indiana watching the freak show. Went inside and got a heart attack in a sack and a guy twice my age was bragging how the trucks were lined up to the interstate and how he was blocking the fuel island. We had a rather loud discussion on courtesy at the fuel islands. Came out after he did and he was arguing with the manager how he couldn't move because his clock ran out while he was at McDonald's. He was gonna have to take a 30 in the island. I give up. He may or may not have been a company driver for the carrier I am leased to.
     
    TruckDuo and Bumpy Thank this.
