    I've hauled twice to OKC with Electolux but it was independent retailers, not an Electrolux DC. One of the times the customer didn't have a set of bolt cutters to take off that heavy duty seal they put on. Had to use a saw.

    I like Electrolux loads. Besides being light, they are quick but usually stick to their appointment times, especially if it's a small distributor, mostly because they don't have room.

    Parked at the J in Temple Ga for about 2. Figure might as well park for 2 instead of fighting Atlanta traffic for 2 at 17:30 local time. Load is a D&H in McDonaugh and it doesn't have to be there till tomorrow but I'd rather get off it tonight just in case I can't get ahold of an empty then I will have plenty of time to wait for one or grab one out of the many options I have around here before I reload out ofAtlanta tomorrow. Not worried about parking. I will sleep at the yard tonight. Now off to check out the Chinese restaurant in the strip mall across the street.

    Not far from you. I'm at the wilco in villa rica. Thought about coming on down there to that J but for whatever reason the difference between the 2 spots is 19 channels on tv here and none there lol had just enough time to get here if I'd run that last couple miles and hit a jam I'd have been out of time. Parked with 8 minutes left.

    Made my drop. Had a nice brand new empty, and now sitting in the yard. Shame I won't be pulling this trailer to Columbus as it's another drop and hook for me tomorrow. Found a nice paying load to Syracuse from there and early weather reports isn't calling for much snow the next few days. Fingers crossed.

    Browsed very quickly the comments here... I am in a hurry...

    Oh yeah... it seems that truck stops are back to regular congestion... :biggrin_2552:
    So... for the very first time, I decided to park at a Scale Station....:biggrin_2554: I was "afraid" I would not find a spot at a rest area tonight and I guess I am more concerned about parking at a congested truck stop at night than risking getting a level I inspection... :biggrin_25523:

    So... here I am.... at a huge inspection station in TN... It's very nice... only a few trucks here... But for some reason I don't feel very comfortable here... :biggrin_25513: Oh well... So be it... Did my Post Trip tonight... as usual... Will do another one before I leave tomorrow... as usual... And will make sure my elog reflects exactly what I am doing... Just in case... I don't know but I have a weird feeling I'm being "watched" here...:biggrin_2554: Maybe not... maybe it's just my "normal" paranoia... :biggrin_25523:

    Anyway... was first truck to be unloaded this morning at co. warehouse in PA... then, dsp sent me load assignment and I left ASAP... pick up nearby that location.... Heading to Gainsville, TX.
    Will try to reset before delivery on Friday... and then, will reload about one hr away from there and will head to CT :biggrin_2552: with one stop in NY... Ooohhh.... freaking NY and CT.... there I go again...

    Ok... enough comment... gotta have my last meal of the day and jump in bed... leaving as soon as my 10 hrs are up...:biggrin_25519:
