I never choose to stay at any terminal, period.
I would rather pay for parking in Ontario than park at JV.
Never felt like I would get killed during the night, or while walking around, at any truck stop.
No one has ever bothered me.
But I do need a Walmart to keep food in the truck. And there are few places in CA that I can do that unless I am bobtail. -

I didn’t say truck stop. I said hidden parking spots. Have you ever tried to park over night near City of Commerce or near Wilmington or LAX? I guess not, lol.
Like I said, you meant Southern California. I haven’t found a Walmart in Northern California which I have trouble with parking. Besides, only few small Walmart, which they do not own the parking lot, will harass you. Otherwise, I haven’t found any problem parking at Walmart. Which specific Walmart are you having parking problem? Inquiry minds want to know.Moosetek13 Thanks this. -

Cottonwood pulled me in for a level 1 this afternoon.
1 violation, a loose brake chamber at the mounting point on the trailer.
Not OOS, and I have a sticker on my windshield now.
I'll stop at the Phoenix Petro in OR tomorrow morning and call on-road to get it fixed before I drop it at Lowe's.
I have had 3 inspections so far this year. That is equal to the seven years prior combined. -

My home terminal is Richmond, VA and unless I have a hometime request in for somewhere out west I have never been west of 35.

Need a b service, you are planned around it.
Need a bit inspection? Planned to avoid it.
If the planners can not see what we need to do, of what use are they to us?
If I am required to do something, they should be able to see it when they bring up my data to plan me - and they SHOULD be planning me to get it done!
My DM can see it on his screen when I call him... so why can't the planners?
I am a company driver, not O/O. If the company requires something, the planners should provide that without a fight from me to get it done.
I have let it happen, letting the time expire on a required service.
If they don't care, neither will I.
Then they HAVE to get me a load, or deadhead me, to get it done. It is a pain in the &^% for all concerned.
So why not just plan things correctly in the first place? ???!!!!
It is NOT!!! my responsibility to get myself to a terminal for a required service or inspection by refusing all loads that won't get me there!
But it IS the responsibility of SWIFT to route me correctly to get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Tolmie and JOHNQPUBLIC Thank this.
