    I'm campaigning to have an Olympic size swimming pool and hot tub put in at Lathrop as well as a stripper pole in the TV lounge.

    Lathrop is an OK terminal. Not based there, just seem to spend a fair amount of time there. Shop keeps bankers hours, so don't go there after hours/weekend with a broken truck. They've gotten really anal about trailer tires. The will red flag a trailer (for tires) that PHX just passed and PHX can be ANAL.

But before doing this gig all I ran where backroads to and from canada so most of the freeways bug me, I miss having all of my spot lights on at night :(

    Well, San Diego.

    The 'pod' is 2 DM's, both of which are great. For around 90 drivers.

    As someone else has said... Stay away! They are stressed enough already.

    If you want a nice terminal, with laid back people and a good shop, try Inver Grove Heights, MN.
    I go there for some home times, and they are very nice people.
     
    Tapeworm Thanks this.

    I'm out of Syracuse, NY. It's my favorite terminal mostly because I know a lot of the people who work there and it's closest to home. Most terminals are decent in most ways, but some also stand out. I would recommend stopping at these: Syracuse, Richmond, VA; Memphis, TN; Lancaster, TX; Inver Grove Heights, MN; Columbus, OH; Lathrop, CA. These I would avoid as much as possible: Houston, TX and Mira Loma, CA (limited facilities and shared parking with other companies); Avenel, NJ (little parking, no showers); Edwardsville, KS; Gary, IN; Manteno, IL.
     
    Theghosthunter Thanks this.
