    Sure Pete, I got off the exit 4 miles before the Pilot to drop off my trainee at his house, went thru the woods to my delivery and came out 20 miles south at the same exit as the Loves. When I'm on such a tight schedule to deliver the companies freight 950 miles away and have just enough time to only piss, then it becomes an emergency fuel stop when planning my escape from Florida. In all actuality, we aren't suppose to fuel in Florida, combine that with fueling at an emergency stop, I get my pee pee slapped twice. But hey, another load delivered on time.

    Got my reload info. Drop and hook in Conyers Ga tomorrow night at 11pm. I'll leave about noon, get Jason and be up there about 10pm. Then bring it to the Richmond yard for Sunday morning.

    Yes, finally. But not without some aggravation and my attorney involved. I'm not going to put it here on the Abilene thread, but I am going to resurrect the Calex thread later on today and tell everyone who wants to listen exactly what happened.
