    Just wheeled into Commodore service plaza on the OH tp.

    This place is a mess . Trucks everywhere. Lol

    This means one of two things , either there was alot of trucks on the road today , or all these drivers are solar powered...:biggrin_2559:

    This was first day I actually drove most of my time when the sun was up . Kinda dont like it :biggrin_25513:
    I need to start getting loads so I can run nights again.....:yes2557:

    Looking at the Pilot in Franksville tonight. What a day. It was frustrating and a lot shorter than I wanted and I'll leave it there, otherwise I'll start sounding like a whiney truck driver. [emoji31]

    Well, I usually can turn a Delaware Oh.
    But with US30 under construction makes it impossible, So its the flying j in Fort Wayne.

    Flying J, Spiceland IN. slowed down today as well as preloaded trailer I picked up was missing both mudflaps and brackets were bent. Got that fixed and hit a standstill through the construction in Terre Haute. No biggie. Plenty of time to set load delivered to Greencastle PA

    Sleeping bags sound like a very good idea I keep hearing people say that. You mention that its a bonus to have the
    bathroom inside the room. Do people really get out of the truck at night to use the bathroom or do they have something
    like a portable toilet inside the truck. I have been hearing that it is unsafe to get out of the truck at night but I imagine
    sometimes you have no choice. Any advice for a new hire.
