    That's like asking which is better, getting hit in the head with a wooden baseball bat or an aluminum one?

    Breezewood TA. Felt like I got nothing done today. My offload at this customer than normally takes less than an hour was 3 1/2 today. Which put me headed to my next pickup out of Manassas headed to Baltimore right at 1600. Obviously that went well. Onward to Cincy.

    Got home early today thanks to our load being ready. Got to enjoy the second half of the day at home. Every week we get home earlier and earlier. Next week's goal is to get home by the morning. Lol

    HAHAHAH.... You are right... :yes2557: I though the same thing... Actually, I have parked at many dark places... what bothered me about this rest area (Indio rest area) wasn't the darkness but how tiny it was...
    But thankfully, nobody touched the truck... :biggrin_25519:
    Was the first one to check in the receiver this morning and right after empty, headed to my second delivery up north... And had to face that morning rush hr traffic in CA... from CA-57 N to I-210 W to I-5 N... :biggrin_2552: Not fun... :biggrin_25512:
    Yesterday I drove almost 11 hrs and ran 681 miles... today drove almost 10 hrs but only 492 miles...
    Now I am parked right here for the night...

    [​IMG]

    I am in a tiny car fuel station, facing my consignee's fence. They will unload me tomorrow morning. And then I will head to my next shipper south of here...
    And will have to face another rush hr traffic congestion in Fremont, San Jose area... :biggrin_2552: And after loaded will head to TX! :biggrin_25519:
