    That's why I hate it when I'm in Richmond. So close but so far! And if I go by the house for a night or a 34, I get screwed coming back out, so I try to stay away from the yard. Usually end up back there 2 days before home time with outbound scratching their head wondering how to get me miles and get me home on time. I just smile and tell them if they gave me longer runs farther away we wouldn't be having this issue. :D

    That's terrible but I know the feeling. I too have had a mechanic break my cup holder also. I don't know why and I did use it for my glasses. Smh...I wonder what they really think they are doing sometimes.

    Not sure what they are working on that requires being in the bunk area to begin with but ya, brake it; Fix It...

    Ya, I watched a Capt. America movie on FX and now back in the truck and will see if morning brings a loaded trailer.

    First the DOT Physical, then truck repairs, then waiting on HP to get the trailer loaded.... Blew 2.5 days on the yard already... Looking forward to getting off this yard sooner than later.

    That's when little droplets of liquid fall from the clouds... Still not sure how to get the wax to do the same.

    I have run into a few folks from the thread while here these couple of days... and missed seeing a couple that were here too... That's been the only saving benefit to being here so far is to actually have the chance to meet a few of you.
