    595 truck stop has paid parking for $20 per day. That's about the only thing in that area unless you want to chance parking behind a Publix or Walmart. I can also point you to some street parking nearby in Hollywood I see trucks using, but I have no clue if the police would run you off.

    There is also the turnpike rest areas in Palm Beach and pompano beach depending on what time you get down there as they fill up fast.

    Go to the Loves at the same exit. You’ll get one there before you will at the J.

    Unpossible.

    I handle my share of that crap and some of it says "hand scraped" and "straight from the mountains of VA".

    Leave it to the Chinese and their great marketing. They could sell snowballs to the Eskimos up in Barrow Alaska and they’ll them it’s a pot pie.

    You know, I’m all for the team here. But after reading the QC message about the new bonus program for OTR where the local drivers get nothing. Nad, Zero, Zip, No raise in 3 years, Bonus taken away last year, I’m beginning to have the same F-it attitude that all the other local drivers have. So if you see me tucked away somewhere, mind your business. I’m just getting in a little “bonus” time.

    I asked 2 of my trainees I had that are West Memphis local drivers if they get anything and they said no. I mentioned to them they might want to go in and ask about it. They did, was told no then both put in their resignations. By the end of the day they both got an hourly pay raise.

    I’ve always subscribed to the theory that if I put in my notice, the company is too late.

    That’s WM. They have 2 locals. RVA has about 18. I suppose if all of us collectively did it in RVA, then maybe they’d listen.
     
    runningman0661 and JohnBoy Thank this.
