    I've never seen a pilot worth a hoot. I avoid it like the plague.

    Sounds like it, indy or wintersville. It's not a bad drop/hook gig even with the heavy weight.

    It only added 20 miles to the trip. I'll never go any other way. ;)

    Definitely!!

    I'll go that route if I'm headed to Milwaukee sometimes. 74-39-43.... more miles, but quicker most of the times when Chicago is a mess.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    I forgot about that! He must've gotten unloaded while day shift was there and to find a spot at that Loves. 2nd shift unloads a pallet and puts it away, hence the 1 1/2-2 hr timeframe I said. Every time I go there I have the 4 or 6 pm appt.

    I haven't did a Gatorade loop in a long time. I haven't did one since I told them that I don't mind doing them,
