    Anybody ever delivered to Beach Trading Co. in Edison, NJ? I have a load due down there tomorrow at 10am, and I'm wondering how early they'll take me. Also wondering if I can park overnight in their yard.

    If I want to make it back here tomorrow for hometime Friday, I need to get there early, park on their yard, squeeze in a 10 while there, and then start heading back here tomorrow night.

    Sitting MT in Sanford FL after delivering to Cost Plus at 6am. Requested a load I can drop at the yard in hopes of getting something juicy on Friday for the weekend. Still asking to head West at least once in a while. Not holding my breath but who knows.

    Dragging a refer so a paper load from GA isn't gonna happen. Praying they don't send me to that cold storage. I'm not in the mood for Chinese.... lol

    Man, I wouldn't be too sure. I had a two-stop load last week involving a HP cooler and a bowling pin resetting machine that they TRIED to load onto a reefer. My instructions were to hook up to a dry van with these items already loaded, which I did. But then they told me to bump the dock at the Richmond yard so that Zip could take those items off the dry van and load them onto a reefer.

    My guess is that they had Plans(tm) for my return trip that required me to have a reefer. However, the bowling pin resetting machine wouldn't fit through the door of the reefer, so those plans were aborted and I rolled out with the dry van as originally instructed.

    Well, coming off HT... Waiting in the cab having McD's for breakfast... sent in "ready to roll if/when needed" via QC... guess I could do a bit of housekeeping while I wait.

    Actually there was a last minute change to that. I'm actually going to work for a family run business. I even get to pick my own work schedule.
