    Some small truckstop just north of Baton Rouge. I have 2 of the worst stops I have ever seen in my career tomorrow. The first one took me over and hour on Google maps, in street view to even see the streets I need to try and get there. Jill routed me, with a placarded load, down through a train station THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A ROAD! I think I found a good way to get to it without getting stuck or hitting something.

    The second one is in the middle of a neighborhood with one way streets. There isn't a dock on this hideous old building and the doors are too small to allow a trailer to be backed in off the street. The only thing I can see is a platform where railroad tracks run between that horrible building and the building next to it. But I can't see how to access it unless I blindside back on a one way street with railroad tracks on one side and a light post on the other. All for a 260 mile live unload on the west side of Houston.

    that's insane, scythe. So glad all I have to do is haul around a tank ;)

    although I end up in some pretty strange places, I haven't seen anything like that yet...
