    I would do that if I weren't already donating several pieces to cover the rent, bills and food of my cognitively-impaired mother and her roommate/caregiver, but alas.

    There is one like that in upstate NY...there is a truck stop directly across the street, and they don't mind if you leave and take your break over there...but they neglect to tell you that receiving leaves after 2nd shift and no one is there to give you your bills and unload sheet until 7 a.m.

    Every time I have been to that one, in Wilton, I think....it has been a drop and hook, in and out no problems. wish they were all that way.

    Probably not. Got a lead on a local job I'm going to go after. The wife would prefer I try local.

    I wish we had more drop/hook loads here at Poly...but given the fact that it's a long bobtail to one of the plants for another trailer...I can see why they don't

    Sounds like something good can really come out of what you have had to go through. There are times when we are faced with one opportunity ending while a great opportunity opens up. Good luck! Please let us know how it goes.
