    If I have a good run outa Salinas;I like spending the night @ that place.

    Easy parking, employees and drivers both have a descent attitude, and coffee is o.k.

    Only down side is insufficient stalls in the men's room.

    If it were me, I would walk to the restaurant to increase my appetite, and then take the shuttle back so I could relax... I don't like to walk right after a meal... :biggrin_25512: But, if I did have some time yesterday, I would have run to the building for some exercise.... :yes2557:

    And do you also "walk" under your trailer with a flash light?

    So... Left that HUGE parking lot at 5:40 am east time today and ran and ran... arrived at receiver in DE 10 before my self-scheduled appt time... :yes2557:
    And after unloaded, rush to near Carlisle, PA for reload... Was going to park at a service plaza in Bedford, PA but when I saw a sign saying it is closed I decided to park earlier at this other service plaza... Cause I didn't want to risk not finding a parking spot at that Somerset plaza later this evening...
    Going to one of my co's warehouse in IN tomorrow... Gave my ETA to DSP and she will post me out with broker for another load possibly on Sat...
    Having my meal in the truck now and then rushing to bed... Gotta be in bet in about 7 mins... Y'all be safe... :biggrin_25519:

    If I'm not mistaken that Somerset plaza has an overflow lot with lots of parking. For future reference
