    Timer on a bunk heater? Never saw one like that. Hmmmmm. There has got to be a way to increase that time. Is the manual in your truck somewhere?

    35 degrees. Anything below that and the truck will idle. When we had subzero temps at home last winter, my truck idled that weekend. Didn't want to take a chance of it not starting.

    No, I took a different route that my GPS suggested. Wasn't a smart decision, as the route is beautiful, it is much to hilly for a heavy load such as Crockjuice. I'm literally .1 MI from the Ky/Va line on US 23.

    I'm going to have to start taking a weekly 34. I mess up trying to recap run.

    Beautiful sunrise, tho.

    When I was there back in May, there was a suite with a soccer poster in the window on the right as you drive to the back, a little over halfway down. There will be a customs broker directly across. The dock you have to back into, looks like it's next door to the suite with the soccer poster. The suites are set up (WDDW) and so on. (That's windows dock dock windows).

    Wish I had pics of the place. And wish I could help you more.

    I know which way you went. Ugh! Went that way, once, in the opposite direction, empty when I was with Useless Express. Said I wouldn't do it again. If memory serves, you'll come up somewhere in the vicinity of Grayson KY. Then the AA highway up to Cincy. A little bit better of a road. Several small places to stop on there but they sneak up on you.
     
    KD5AXG Thanks this.

    Well my day has just gotten longer. Usually these places are pretty quick to load, but just my luck, they are waiting on product to get here from their plant that should've been here last week. SMDH!

    But, if I wasn't concerned with having facilities, I could've parked here last night as there is a large dirt lot and they have a scale as well.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy and Finfn1372 Thank this.
