    The light blue stuff at Richmond has worked well for me, it's just the dark blue stuff at the West Memphis yard that froze.

    I’m impressed. The Duck Dynasty boys got some work done on the new shop while I was on vacation.

    I haven't been to Richmond in over a month. Maybe I won't recognize the place when I do make it back.

    Wonder if the new shop will have laundry facilities as the old place got swallowed up by construction months ago.

    It does. I think they were/are building a lounge area down there. Still have 2 washers and only 1 dryer. According to a buddy of mine.
     
    Redtwin and JohnBoy Thank this.

    I would rather driver use truck wash than another lounge. I don't use the one we have now and a second one down by the shop is going to be filled with mechanics anyway.

    Been 2hrs since I sent a QC message asking about getting a load. Maybe a reset is in the cards if loads are light. I will be looking for better parking if that's the case. I spent the night parked on the street and the cars whizzing by the truck at 55-60 mph shake it like a hurricane.

    A very sad day in Johnboys life today. It was 40 years ago today I got my Chauffeurs license and started this insanity.
