    Ha. You know it feels like I've just come to port after being at sea for a few weeks -- in the last 3 days the only times I stopped moving was to shower, fuel, eat or sleep. Not that I mind, but I still haven't quite regained my land legs.

    Are you going to make it home in time for your vacation?

    Did my 160 mile relay that I waited 20 some odd hours to get.
    Apparently ups was expecting the load to delv at 0001, I got it there at 1730. 17 hours late.
    Oh what a joy 30 minutes to get out of Portland. Then better part of 2 hours from ft Lewis to Seattle. Burning down a already low log book.
    Went to next customer to park and wait on my roll of the dice TBA load.
    Asked to drop mty in dock so can load in am. Nice. Bobtail to casino for dinner and some penny slots.

    Sounds like they were short teams in LA again...sounds like the Fontana load we had once ....we couldn't make it on time either ...55mph dispatch with 55 mph speed limits, LA rush hr traffic , plus the I-5 CA/OR mnts .... EPIC fail ... Lol

    Living dangerous. Loves Tacoma.
    I don't think anybody has been robbed here. At least in the last hour.
    I think maybe they cleaned it up from when it was a flying j. Used to get proposition at fuel islands. Haven't seen any real riff raff. But its early.

    I'm about half way through it. Not bad, plenty of eye candy to keep you interested when it does drag a bit.

    Yeah, it drives me a bit crazy -- west coast planner dispatches at 55-58mph despite mountains and 55mph limit in CA/OR, Texas planner dispatches at 35mph despite relative flat & 65+ mph limits even on back roads...

    Oh man I hate parking there unless I luck into a diagonal slot -- main lot was built for 40' trailers & cabovers, and clearly isn't suited for novices in 75+ feet combinations... Twice I awoke during the night from the sounds of nearby trucks losing hoods&headlights. So now I just park on the street a few blocks over towards the port (by the save-a-lot dc)

    Good to hear. I liked their 'house of cards' but havent seen orange yet. Is it kind of like showtime's Weeds?

    Orange is new black is similar to hbo's oz, a women's prison drama, Without the dangling participles.
