    I can fuel wherever I want but I do try to follow their fuel routing solution but sometimes I fuel in cheaper areas. It is best to look for a Pilot with a bunch of smaller truckstops around it that is where we get our biggest discount cause they want our business there. I would like to into George and you never know cause we do run certain lanes

    I didn't make it to Lake Station but to LaSalle( that was the name of my first ship in the Navy). only 515 to do tomorrow. Will start much earlier than today so I can breeze through that Gary area. I like to start at 0100 or 0200 so I do not deal with traffic especially going east plus much easier to find parking in truck stops at 1000-1200. Got a preplan to Rockford, Il. Lowes so might be able to do that monday if I get loaded fast enough.

    Be safe out there

    558 miles today from Dunedin FL to northern GA. Here at the J I75 mm 320. Back at it oh dark 30 tomorrow. Needed to stop where I had shower credits. Maybe I can hit 600 tomorrow. Still had over an hour left on the clock when I stopped but waiting til the last minute to find parking is a recipe for disaster. Lost a good half hour in Atlanta for construction on the 285 bypass. Still a good day overall. Deuces.

    sorry then George when I was there I never went to Dunedin just Auburndale and Leesburg
    maybe we never loaded at Dunedin when I was there

    amarillo to san bernadino is 1000 miles so just another run
    the biggest bet is a Walmart load back to La Cruces NM

    where is that walmart produce dc Corona?

    That Dunnedin is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood. When I was there the guy told me it was built a long time ago and they built up around it. It is not usually a heavy load around 15,000 if I am right. Just need to cool trailer before they load or thats what they made me do both times I was there

    I live just 5 miles from that Coke plant in Dunedin. Looks like they have room for overnight parking on the entrance lot. Look like they have their own scale too. Too bad I never have a chance to go there when I drove for TransAm.
