    Got a deadhead move from Hazleton to the DC to drop this empty. Then bobtail to the yard and grab a reefer to go down to Jarratt for a Groveport D/H. Guess who's got the night shift? That's right, Chris......lol, not really, I do.

    John Wayne Gacy.

    Serial killer. Killed kids. Dressed up as a clown at children's parties to get close to his victims.

    Nasty piece of work.

    PBL grad?

    I ended up graduating HS in Effingham, IL. Currently working in Champaign, until I start with Abilene in about three weeks.

    It looked like a new build store so maybe it was designed to be a truck stop from the start. The lounge was tiny, only 4 seats but they were very comfy and they had dish network on tv.

    I would gladly go back there than loves or pfj.
