    Hope you don’t get blocked in your parking spot. The creative parkers go crazy there.
     
    Lonesome and JohnBoy Thank this.

    indeed they do. I had parked there my last trip out. It was early in the afternoon and I saw that I’d probably be blocked in when I needed to leave, so I moved to a better spot. Glad I did because in the morning, the creative ones had the spot I was originally in blocked nine ways to Sunday.
     
    JohnBoy and dwells40 Thank this.

    I’ve parked across the street at the Mexican restaurant. That too is like a Chinese fire drill leaving out in the morning.

    I'm eyeballing the dude parked straight across from me and wondering how much he's gonna enjoy me banging on his truck in the morning to get him to move.

    Anyone have the displeasure of doing a load for ITS?

    Dude, I’ve been here at Abilene almost 9 years, my check is in the bank every Friday, my miles are great, my hometime is perfect, my freight is exactly were I like to run, and for another year until retirement, I could care less what color the truck is, what name is on the door or who owns this place. After 41 years of this, the only difference between Abilene, Knight or ANY other company out there, is the color of the truck. This industry sucks, it has for the last 15 years, I just happen to like my job.

    What exactly are you trying to say? Your comment really makes no sense.

    He’s probably pissed for being turned down for a job there.
