    Just sayin' those clearance signs in that area are loud and proud. Not a lot of excuse for that... But hey..I'm the chick that dropped my Tandems in a ditch earlier so I think I won't throw stones.

    Dispatch: So driver, I am going to need an updated ETA?

    I worked for JB for a few months in 2013. This kind of stuff will drive you crazy. I had an HBI once, a young girl came flying up on my right side just as I was making a right hand turn. I stopped with two inches or so to spare by slamming on the brakes. As if that wasn't enough, the phone rings and its the (20 something) dispatcher wanting to talk about it (HBI)and enter data into the computer about it for 10 minutes. Yeah they're big, but it's really annoying. This is just one of a few things that happened in my short stay. Kudos to anyone who can deal with it and stick it out.

    HBI? it was hard breaking that triggered the elog device.

    That looks like Joliet. If it is, I made it under that bridge

    But..but..they send a nice canned message asking," are you all right?" I was so moved I needed a tissue.

    2 clowns with foreign accents and a beat up white Volvo ( how did they get from Chicago down here to God's country?) parked in the pilot fuel bay and washed their entire truck. I scolded the one using the windshield fluid and squeegee as he scrubbed at his filthy fender and he put the squeegee up but they stayed there and finished the job right down to polishing the front chrome. Unreal.
