    Good way to be lazy is adding some on duty time before you get loaded.... extra cushion on a long DOT BLITZ week!

    .... I'm headed to California....

    Calexico.

    I woke up from nap after dropping trl waiting for behind schedule preload.

    Switched load.

    500 to 1200....illllllll take it!

    Swear man this slackin off thing.....so working out in my favor. On the list for potential driver finisher .

    I have experience in telling the woman how to drive everytime We get in the car. Then I drive and swing way super out and hit sidewalks in a tiny mustang. Quite funny.

    Sooooo calexico ....you are headed south off ca111

    Do you make a left or a right at the heber rd intersection?

    Now that would make for an interesting reality show...
    Lol

    Left onto Heber, then a mildly tight right turn (not really that tight, but there is a metal post that is apparently hit quite often) into shared yard across/just before AM/PM.

    Not much in the way of amenities -- porta potty, AM/PM gas station across street. Mom & Pop truck stop ~3miles north with dirtyish bathrooms/laundry & subway + hot case. No problems bobtailing out -- plenty of restaurants / stores ~5 miles south in Calexico

    Dirt lot turns into super slippery mud after the slightest rain...

    When ever we go to Calexico and have to stay overnight we go to the truckstop at exit 118 turn left off the exit go up to first light and take right it sits behind In and Out Burger, the truckstop has a restaurant(sushi ??) and mexican taco places inside, also several hotels around it

    One more exit up is imperial valley mall if you want to shop/browse. Like Laredo, they won't bother you at sears. Across from drop lot is a new Chinese restaurant and its nice. Huge portions and cheap. Past Heber to the next intersection then left is the Walmart. You can park behind the trees on the packed sand so you have better access to restrooms than a port a potty. Same spot on the corner is a great Mexi joint. Dollar Tree is on the opposite corner behind 7-11. Yep....there u go...
