    I think it has some potential. If they make a Drivers Lounge upstairs, etc. Time will tell.

    Yea that's a thought. But giving their track record of their drivers lounge at Richmond.... smh it's a disappointment. They even threw away 2 chairs. What do you expect when you buy the cheapest furniture for 300+ people. Best driver lounge I've ever seen in my career is when I started with Prime in 2008. Forget weekend getaways, they built thar place for whales. Deep deep pockets. I'm headed to FL with a drop at 4am tomorrow morning. Hopefully, my plan is to drive in this evening and take my break there. I'm just trying to make it 10 more days. Mom called me last night and was telling me about all my family coming in. This will be the largest family gathering in years. Be safe everyone

    Ya, I noticed that the last time I was at the Richmond Yard... I know a couple of them were in rather rough shape for how old they should have been. And yes, must buy items for the targeted group... They looked very nice but ya, they didn't standup to use by us more robust folks.

    Made it to my delivery. 12 hours early. Said overnight parking. True....sort of. I have a 4am appt. I can't be let in til after 8pm tonight. So I'm sitting in the street til then. I really don't get it though. It's the street, 12 feet of grass, then the staging area. What's the difference between me sitting here vs there??? Lol, I love my job. Do we get a referral bonus? I have a friend who's interested in coming over.
