    Understatement of the year.

    Don't forget to put in for layover.

    Really? I hope I they send me there. You treat us like animals and can’t provide basic facilities? I’d take the trailer, or bobtail to a truck stop, then they could hunt me down to come pick it up. At that point, it turns into, “I don’t give a f@&k” type of attitude.

    I think I’ve been out here too long. My attitude is atrocious, and I’ve been home a week.

    In my 16 years of driving between otr and local, this is the longest Ive been stuck at a place. Maybe somebody oughta talk to operations about coming here, then again they prob wouldn't care.

    If every driver they send there puts in for layover, maybe they'll rethink it.
