    Yes. You are right, not complaining, but it would be cool to run elsewhere, not that it needs to be Cali. But since I only stay out two or three weeks at a time, maybe that's why. Oh, and I don't wanna chain. If that's the price I pay, so be it

    FYI I ran into to my first example of diesel shortages in the SE today. Planned on fueling at the QT at exit 8 in TN on I24, out of fuel, go to the Mapco exit 24 on I24, no diesel. Call the T/A in Antioch, TN out of diesel, now I’m starting to panic, call the Thorntons in Antioch, the lady says “yes we currently have diesel, but can’t guarantee if we run out before we get resupplied.”

    I hauled tail over and topped off, they said the SE would feel the affects first. My new rule of thumb for the foreseeable future, I won’t let my tanks get below half when headed to the SE.

    Congrats! The cheater moniker goes away as they have been consistently great the last six or seven years. If one cheats, they all do. Glad to see Dusty win one! Man is a class act!

    Might be more coming too. National supply was at 24 days last week and even lower this week. Maybe that will change after Tuesday.

    but yes, best stay topped off as much as possible.
     
    runningman0661 and dwells40 Thank this.

    Ugh, I’m delivering to a Kawasaki dealer in Hoschton, Georgia, show up @0630 thinking I will beat the crowd. Nope three other FCCs here ahead of me (couldn’t get here lastnight do to HOS).

    Reminds me of the cooler loads at Abilene showing up to a new store.

    The same happened to me in Salem, Oregon last week. Plus a flatbed delivering too. Sometimes appointments are worthless

    You must know a different Dusty Baker than I do, lol. As far as the cheating, it should follow the players to any possible HoF ballot in my eyes, no different than the PED group and possibly more egregious as it was an organizational plan.
