    After what had to be one of the most stressful days I've had in many many years, I made it back to Richmond about 11pm Thursday night. I got 3 parking tickets for a grand total of $345 while sitting in front of my delivery getting unloaded. I called in after the second one and was told just to bring them in and the shipper will pay them. After hearing that I lost interest in tickets.


    I woke up yesterday, grabbed a shower, then hooked an LTL load with 2 drops. First drop in Waycross Georgia, second one in Albuquerque NM. The second drop is 2 coolers for a Walmart store, then pick up 2 damaged ones right there going back to Richmond. Right now I'm sitting in Tifton finishing up my 10. I dropped Waycross at 10 last night then drove here.

    was told just to bring them in and the shipper will pay them.:biggrin_2554: Be sure they get paid nothing like being in NYC and they are trying to BOOT the front steer tire on your truck for UNPAID PARKING TICKETS

    I wouldn't walk 4 feet up and down Jefferson Davis let alone 4 miles. Enterprise will take you back.
