Midwest is very slow and Indianapolis in particular. That’s why I have my trucks sitting from July 3 through July 8th. It’s pointless to try and run during that time unless you have cross country freight.
Fellow Freymiller drivers, who else is getting the run around?

I spend thanksgiving in south carolina, christams in texas, new years in ketucky and now 4th of july in alabama and i live in arizona , its been a crazy year so far but u got to find a way to enjoy the downtimes we all deal with enough stress on a daily basis , dont let it get to u buddy

not the whole area..only that little piece..10 miles down the road in priceville was beer at the pilot up north by Athens was beer..
so it kind of sucked there's no Uber in falkville Alabama there's not even goober..but you know I'm not an alcoholic life went on I would have just like to have some cold suds while I was sitting there but I got enthralled you know have my soda and started watching some DVDs and binge-watched half of the season and that kind of killed almost half the time anyway so it is what it is...
although ever since that incident about 3 months ago I did make a mental note if you want some brew don't stop at the Love's in falkville on i-65 stop before or after...
but it's to be expected with a holiday I got burned just the over memorial day how was up there to John Deere dealership in Foster Wisconsin.. which is 12 miles south of Ashland Wisconsin way up there.. ain't no truckstop I knew when I delivered that day before the holiday I was going to get screwed for 3 or 4 days and sure enough I just drove up to Superior it's only 66 Miles said that's where I'll be whatever you get a load let me know.
4 days later they got a load about of the Duluth area going back down to Tennessee but you know it was a be expected I didn't get mad I'm like wow it's a holiday time I get done deliver and it's going to be too late to get anything.. but it comes with the territory...just strike fry guy here just got to learn it's a holiday there's ads sometimes you may not get anything you may have to sit go find a nice hotel check-in kick back relax treat yourself..
do like I do every now and then forget about the roach motel in the bed bug in and get yourself a nice room at the Holiday Inn Express or a Hampton spend about a buck and a quarter and enjoy yourself....D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
