    Yeah, too bad you miss that Charlotte scale going that way, right?

    Speaking of miracle parking, I just pulled into the Peelot formerly known as Wilco Tom's Brook, VA. A little after 2100 and the usual suspects clogging the driveway and quadruple parked every which way. Got around to the party row and counted three empty spaces before I grabbed an easy one. Actually they're all easy since this stop wasn't born a Pilot. I'll probably skip the lottery ticket, but I'm thinking a DQ shake might be good right about now.

    At a quiet little fuel stop on 9 just before I 20. Gonna rub my truck down a little got er washed today give me a whole new attitude bout this little gig. Only got 9 ton in the wagon but it pays a flat rate so that's a good thing for me. Rolling in there in the am with my wheels and tanks shined will make me look like a real grain hauler. I still how ever don't like cotton seed hulls. Or getting on the scale at purina mills

    That settles it, for me anyway. After some deep thought over a couple chili dogs and a banana shake, I'll take a DQ over a DD any day.
