    Same thing happened to me today. Berea for 4pm, got the load assignment at 1pm. They took it when I got there, but receiver guy said we've been late on every delivery for the past 3 weeks. Then after that I got a load from Jeffersonville IN, to Sabra. Never been to Jeffersonville before. I found it, in the dark....while it was raining. Lol. Taking my break here.

    Decent folk there, and nice clean restroom. Ive taken a 10 there in the past and they were quite happy for me to do so. I always dread running into a facility that runs you off the property even after you plead with them that its late night and you are low on drive time.

    I dont know if you use a GPS or how up to date it is, but there is a new bridge that opened up and you can take the backroads to get it avoiding those roundabouts. Google maps will route you there. My GPS has me in the middle of the river going that route.

    Contrary to popular belief, Ohio isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be.

    I'm back in Richmond from Berea. Needed to get back to pick up a prescription. They tried to send me to Indy with Gatorade until I reminded them I had to buy some drugs. So they put me on a Supervalu load instead. Dropped that off last night, after the pharmacy closed, so heading out to the pharmacy now. Then we'll see what they have in store for me when I get back.
