    Just that it was something they could give me a ticket for. He ended up not. Guess he liked my smiling face or something. But definitely said it was something to keep in mind the next time I was hauling a plate-less trailer through Ohio.

    That delivery day is a nonissue. They’re always waiting on the product.

    Third reset in 3 weeks is done. Got empty and reloaded in Phoenix. On my way to Richmond. Can’t wait for vacation in July. I’m really done with all these “changes for the good”

    The fine Officer is Louisiana told me head could give me a ticket but opted for a Warning instead... after verifying my registration. But ya, who knows for sure.

    And what’s up with the bathrooms at the RVA Yard??? One door was braced open with a chair to ventilate... the other one had no fan at all... (it was the one that rattled so bad it was distracting at the window so ya, progress?) one bathroom has no towels because the towel holder is off the wall and sitting off to the side...

    And no soap anywhere... I’m not saying the “soap was out” but not even a soap dispenser to be found... lol

    So go take a piss and have to return to the truck to wash my hands??? LOL ... ya ya ya... real truckers don’t wash... lol

    But, after my DM let me hanging going into the weekend without a plan, the awesome guy behind the window offered me several options... (I wanted a Utah Load but I guess it was gone already... lol) ... so I opted to head back to Louisiana with a HP load... hoping to avoid a ticket this time.

    @MidWest_MacDaddy you know no one washes their hands nowadays! Ugh! That’s just gross. In the women’s room, I used Listerene to wash off the seat and to wash my hands with (hey, it was there!). No soap in there either. I hate using the restroom there.

    @JohnBoy I see the sitting situation has trickled upward! Since I’m at the yard so much, I hear quite a few folks complaining about that and all the “positive changes” occurring.
