    She got tired of all my clothes coming home the same color. According to her, it's better to come home with 2.5 weeks worth of laundry then ruining everything I own. Walmart/Target? I barely have enough patience delivering to a DC let alone shop at one of those stores.

    I've used Uber from the yard without any issues month ago or so. Driver was right down the road when I asked for a ride.

    Groveport, it's an unofficial yard. ;)

    Washers get cleaned every time someone does laundry. That's what I tell myself.o_O

    I might consider doing my jeans on the road in a truckstop laundry facility, but I will not do my underwear in them. Lord only knows what they would be washed in.

    I hear they reuse the grey water from the showers stalls to save money on the water bill and be green... it's all the rage.

    At least that's what I heard at the Truck Stop cafe counter... must be somewhat true... right?

    Every time I think I got this company figured out, they throw a monkey wrench in the mix. Reset over, empty in Austin Tx, now heading 65 miles south to load in Seguin Tx for Shafter Ca.

    Exactly what my wife said, then she told me if I'm not home by next Wednesday, I can have Thanksgiving with one of the Jones.

    I'm about to pull one of those myself so I can get 5 days off around Christmas with my kids. My daughter really wants to spend Christmas with me this year, so I'm gonna be out at least 30 days to make that happen.

    Of course, I don't have it as bad as you, since I live in Richmond and occasionally get unscheduled hometime for a night. Still, I'm not looking forward to it.
