Parked Here for the Night

I passed by Cullman, AL today... was going north... Brought me memories of when I was on the Walmart dedicated... Cullman used to be my "hometime" DC... But in name only... cause I used to take "hometime" in Chattanooga, TN... Hey, I noticed there's a "new" truck stop at that exit 304... on AL-69... is that a PETRO?

 

Now I am at another rest area... in GA... Going south... Will leave as early as I can so to avoid rush hr traffic in Atlanta...

 

Thanks partner. Yea I like the cafe in Hillsboro fa shore. There is a good one in San Angelo and Hereford.
I sure miss pulling my cow wagon most days. I did find something in pulling the hopper I like a lot better than elevators and hauling right out of the field. I really like running the feed mill circle. Conditions are worse at the feed mills verses the elevator but I like it better for some reason.

 

i feel bad for anyone spending a 10 at the 55

 

Ms. Rocks, that new truckstop at the 304 is a Wilco. The Petro is down at the 299. I'm based out of Cullman, so the company I'm leased to runs us through there regular.
Yeah wore out, I haven't gotten out to the panhandle in a while. I haven't ever pulled a hopper, but the lil feed mill in town where I used to buy my cow feed, we were talking one day and he darn sure got me thinking!

 

Des Moines pilot

They had me Deadhead from Chicago to Safety Kleen Albert lea Mn. 400+ mi.
P/u load of dirty oil to take to Safety Kleen Catoosa Ok. About 600mi.
When mt Deadhead back to Chiago???????
Whole lot of deadheading what do ya think?

 

Thank you Mr. Al.... I never noticed that PETRO...
Memories of Cullman... I once spent New Year's Eve at that Walmart supercenter in Cullman, after I dropped loaded trailer at that DC... Used to take my 10 there sometimes and do my groceries... IMO it was better than Shell on AL-69...

 

Yep, that Shell on 69 is kinda hard to get in and out of. They shut down the restaurant and moved the western store, so not sure what they're gonna do. I try to stay out of Walmart if possible, but we haul a bunch for several companies close by.
