    He probably ordered the cheeseburger or the cheeseburger. Either that or he had breakfast. Their breakfast menu is pretty good, otherwise the only good thing on their menu is the cheeseburger. Don't order their chicken sandwich. It was some shredded chicken stuff and was nasty.

    ^ LOL

    I had their breakfast... biscuits and gravy was good. At least compared to what I'm used to out of the Charlotte OC. Biscuits are more like rocks and the gravy is more like motor oil mixed with sandpaper.

    Gary's cafe blows chunks seen cleaner joints on a food truck.. Indy is decent, carlisles is good too. I think W Memphis is the best of these that I've been too. I really like Atlanta's little fridge deal. hehehe

    Indy is alright, if they haven't run out of everything, carlisle has gone downhill since they switched, W Memphis is good but a little more expensive, Charlotte isn't anything to write home about, and Dallas is pretty much the worst. Atlanta doesn't have food anymore. The lady doesn't come in anymore with food, one of her parents got sick and she has to care take apparently. The best terminal food is Fontana

    Made my delivery today up in some tiny town about 30-40 miles north of Utica, NY. Was a bit of a pain getting there, but it was a very nice ride up there through the middle of absolute nowhere. Funny how before I started driving the only vision I had in my head of New York was what I had seen in pictures and movies of NYC.... not rolling hills with nothing but fields and silos for miles and miles.

    After that headed south towards my pickup. Got to the truck stop and had to replace a low-beam that burned out on my truck. Luckily the Loves had one on the rack and it was really quick and easy to switch out on this Cascadia. The load isn't ready until 2000 tonight and that is at the end of my 14, so I'll grab it in the morning. After that back towards the Detroit area again, I'll hopefully be able to pound out 550+ again tomorrow and make up for my 330 miles total today. All in all its evening out nicely though and hell... at least I'm not in the Northeast.

    Still waiting to hear back from Glen in Green Bay, I'll try him again earlier in the morning tomorrow and maybe our Schedules will line up.
