    Was expecting it to be more run down judging by the lot but it was very clean and spacious inside. I don't mind the McDonalds since I prefer to eat my own food but I love the free wifi. Got to catch up on Jack Bauer's latest adventures.

    Cayce SC. At a shell station called the Corner Pantry across the street from the Pilot. There are spots at the Pilot but that place is TIGHT. There is literally no pull- up rp in some of those spots and I can see somebody losing a bumper there as it fills up more. Came across the street as the lot here is more open and fits about 15 trucks.

    Tomorrow ow will be one of those days the elog will annoy me. I am staged 1.8 miles from from my delivery but can't park overnight. I think it's going to be just a bit to far to limp over there without triggering the drive line :biggrin_25516:

    Oh and lol. My comments state don't park on the road or you will be fined. Don't show up more than 30 minutes early or you will be fined $100. Don't show up late or it's a $200 fine. Why do I have the feeling it will be a 6 hour offload?

    Lmao! Both stops were the nicest people. They organize a group buy every year for pottery enthusiasts in the Mesilla Valley and Mr. Hepp's business in Concho, AZ. I gave them our dispatch contact info for next time they can arrange the shipment directly with us.

    Welp parked at a Road Ranger in WI. Yup still in WI , my new DM is a total waste of space . He couldn't plan his way out of a wet paper bag. I am supposed to be home friday morning , and yea pretty sure thats not gonna happen either.

    I sent a message yesterday evening , asking what was gonna be on the agenda for today so I could plan according. His response was , i'll get back to ya in the a.m.
    ok no biggie I had a delivery at 9a.m. welp still no idea what I am doing and it a little after the a.m. maybe he meant thursday a.m.

    I am soooo very much not happy that my DM quit........

    Ah well , lets get on the old internet and throw out some applications.
     
    Lady K Thanks this.
