Parked Here for the Night

Our Teletracs GPS won't recognize the address for the QVC distribution center in Rocky Mount, NC as being IN Rocky Mount. It's considered "Unincorporated Edgecombe County", lol.

 

our wannabee bullhauler better get used to it
i dont think the gps will help 3 miles down this goat path

 

If they have a Moe's, I'd put up with Pilot parking to eat but never fuel or spend the night there.

Pittsburg is just a truck stop desert like Louisville.

 

the original Moes is in Portsmouth NH where I grew up
the original Jersey Mikes is in Point Pleasant NJ where i kept the fishing boats for 15 years
and I havn't eaten a sub sandwich in at least 10 years

 

^^^^^Since when did YOU grow up?

 

Jersey Mike's makes a righteous sub. There's one about 2 mi from my house that I visit when I'm hungry for a sandwich made by someone else and I remember it's there.

 

Hahahaha

It was right where gps said It was by about 1/8 th mile. Google earth didnt show it because these buildings were not even built yet. Lol

I am delivering "frozen pork" to get this ... A warehouse that isnt even refrigerated ....

Once its off this trailer it becomes , well not my problem

 

Hmmmmm, I could do a whole lot with this statement! Are you trying to lead me out onto thin ice?

 

Glad you found the place tangerine... I was going to tell you yesterday that some of the pics on Google are old.... but you figured it out... That's why I google the co's name a few different ways and if they all point to the same location, I conclude Google pic is old but the place is there... I also use Yahoo maps and mapquest sometimes...

 

So... got rid of my load this morning and headed to next shipper...
When I got here, customer said product wasn't ready... they told me to back on to a dock and almost one hr later told me to pull out of the dock cause it would take a little longer to pull out the load and they needed to load other trucks...
I was looking at my elog and seeing my 14 vanishing pretty quickly.... So, I asked them to let me take my 10 here but they said, "No..." and said there was a t/s not far from here and a small diner where trucks park for free...
However, I thought... by the time they finish with me I will be out of hrs and it will be too late to even find a parking spot...
And I was satellite viewing WM nearby and other possible locations... but nothing seemed really good...

So, I called my dsp and told her about the delay and that I was considering leaving customer and coming back in the morning... And asked her opinion.... HA! She immediately shoot a msg to broker and we were still on the phone when customer came to my door and told me that the boss said, "As long as I don't idle, they will let me take my 10 hr break here..."

YEAH!!!!....
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!
​

And I am parked here for the night...



Now I am thinking... should I request detention? Well... have been here for 4 hrs and they are still loading... So, it definitely qualifies for detention...

Will leave very early in the morning and avoid freaking traffic jam in the area. I am about 40 miles southeast of Harrisburg, PA and going to GA...
