    I haven't been to Richmond terminal for a while. Did they put another guard shack at the entrance of the terminal?

    They are indeed. Dunno if the planned lot repairs extend to the area around the guard shack, though, but I am optimistic.

    I hope nobody has to get a trailer out from the middle of the yard today, because they've blocked off that middle area between the two trailer rows to dig up and replace some pavement. If there are any trailers that need to be moved there, I dunno how it's gonna happen.

    Short term pain, long term gain, obviously, but still a hassle for anybody who has to deal with it.

    Can I just tell ya how much I hate changing trucks? Even though I don’t carry much, it’s still a PITA. They sold all the Macks. And just when I was liking my Oscar the Grouch! Now in a 2016 freight shaker. If I’d had my choice, I’d of just as soon stayed in my 2016 Volvo that I got out of 2 months ago. Sigh.

    And, oh boy do I look stoopid driving this. Hard to push accelerator! The mirrors won’t move, the seat moves too much. Oy vey!

    Seems I spoke too soon! The asphalt near the Once And Future Guard Shack has indeed been repaired. Noticed that on the way out when I didn't have to avoid the pothole.
