    You would think that the guys with air dryers popping off every 30 seconds would be driving Chicago special while Volvos or Freightliners. But it’s always a long hood truck that has them in my experience

    After I got there I realized I had been there once before and made the same mistake if checking in at the wrong end of the building. A few extra steps isn’t actually bad for me… lol

    The lot was a bit congested in places but actually not to bad in most. Several places to get turned around. Only had to wait a couple times for another driver to complete their maneuver to do mine.

    Wasn't too bad, this time.

    They use the same “Kwik Rewards” program. So there is some kind of association if not only marketing.

    Ah, thanks. Kind of makes sense.

    I’ve been stopping at Quick Trip a lot lately. They have several locations with the “ice 2 go” setups on the outside of their buildings. Refill my water jugs for $0.25/gallon.

    and their low carb protein dish of eggs, cheese, meats are pretty good too.

    One aspect that I will like going back to GeoTab is that one can see all of our clocks at the same time. Not just the one with shortest amount of time on it. We can see the 8, 11, 14, & 70 at one glance. Others might not agree, but I found it nice knowing at a glance vs having to actually stop to see them.

    I can't figure out where the arrival and departure is. My elogs did that to but seems to be working OK now.

    One of the things I miss from Peoplenet is being able to see all the clocks at once.

    Taking a reset in KC, spent the night at the drop lot. Been hunting around on Trucker Path for a decent place to PC to and spend tonight and get a shower that won’t make Safety cry. I have a TA/Petro shower credit and Oak Grove is within an hour and has shopping in reach (though I have less than a week before I am off for a week so I don’t need a huge amount of food). But that would rather transparently be advancing the load.
    I have PFJ shower credits out the wazoo at the moment but the J and the Pilot near the lot are reported to frequently have the showers out of service or dirty. Higginsville is in reach and is my fuel stop but would even more obviously be advancing the load.
    There’s the Love’s which I’d have to pay for a shower at but isn’t too far away. I think going a couple miles down the road wouldn’t be a bridge too far. The casino is there as well as a fallback parking option.
    Just sucks because usually I can plan it out better where I can land at a decent place for resets but I didn’t know I was going to wind up here until the middle of the day yesterday.

    It's on the page where you accept the load you accept the load and then have to swipe the bar on the bottom to accept, slide again to arrive, slide again to depart, empty. Idk why they just didn't make a macro for arrive departing for those who are used to the old way.
