    That the McLane with the sorta street parking by the entrance? If so, I remember being able to check in pretty much as soon as they opened the gates around 10. And they didn't seem to bother anyone in the dirt lot onsite after unloaded if just to finish a break. Was a good experience last time.

    And completely agree about Atlanta. For as blue collar of a city as Atlanta is, they sure do seem to especially dislike truckers lol. I've had pretty good experiences at the Coke facilities we go to, at least. With that being said, still love the Braves :cool:

    Tired of the rain as well. Delivered in Moberly, went to Greenville, and then reloaded in Shelby to deliver at O'Fallon Aldi right now. Headed to Waycross, GA with a Baily load once done here for a Monday delivery. This rain has gotten old for sure, but it seems like it might be about done for a few days.

    That fog has been serious this week, and it didn't matter where ya traveled. Some times it can be down right scary when it's super thick. Which manufacturer did you get the trailer from?

    I actually reloaded on Shelby yesterday. I've got a 2am delivery. Then I gotta go by the terminal and hook up to a trailer there, a load of potatoes going to a produce market in Louisville. I ended up grabbing cash excuse the reviews indicated an entrance fee.

    I was so happy to reload Coke in Chattanooga after leaving Atlanta. Deadheading out of there meant I could waste no time getting out lol. I think the rain will let up some tomorrow....could be a wet game in Baltimore tomorrow. The Braves are cool, but I can't understand Truist Park being in the location it's in

    Produce market should be a quick unload at least -- I like those kinds of unique deliveries. I was going to say the roads in KY fared better with the plows than TN so that's good, but Louisville hasn't fared well in decades lol. I'll be rolling through 285 around 02:00, so should be smooth. I love these Waycross runs. Get to enjoy the peace of South GA 75 and good miles for a round trip.

    Should be some good games tomorrow. I'd like to see the Lions and Ravens SB, but who knows.

    And yeah, Truist is in a bit of a weird location. Smyrna is great for people traveling from out of town to get to the games and avoid actual Atlanta, but I'll miss riding the MARTA to Turner Field. Turner had a true 'Atlanta feel' and character to it. Truist is really nice though. We went down for a Marlins game last year and enjoyed it.

    I love the Waycross loads too. Most of the time, you reload right out of there so that's about a 15 or 1600 mile turnaround. It'll be the first time I've gone to this market so hopefully it'll be easy. I dropped off a trailer at the STL produce market once, and other than that, I haven't gone to one since a location in NC and prior to that, Hunts Point in the Bronx with a different company. Hopefully this one will be easy.

    If it's a Lions-Ravens Super Bowl, I hope it's a better game than what we saw when they met in the regular season because the Ravens bludgeoned the Lions lol

    I have to idle my truck tonight. My apu controller is blank. The back light is on, but it's completely blank. Any ideas? I've pressed all the buttons to no avail.
