    Can't see spending over 300 dollars for a GPS when I can use the Qualcomm for turn by turn directions.
    Also have my phone to Google place I am going to.

    I have a delivery near Otay Mesa and the space is tight and you can only blind side dock. There is only 10 feet in front of me. Who designed these docks anyway?

    The clock/display on the sleeper control panel has buttons labeled DIM- and DIM+. Just press DIM- till the light goes out. It dims the display and all lights on that panel.

    I always ask for $65 when they throw me a local delivery and live unload from Jurupa Valley terminal. I always call the planner and tell them I don’t do these 20 mile $8 load unless I get paid additional $65. I mean they are already ripping me off 10% of my miles because of HHG miles.

    Gee, I'm going to Shafter as well.

    Mac 30 only gave me the same load, over and over again, last night into this morning.
    I ignored it. A 0700 live unload in Santa Barbara, CA, and I would have had to stop in Barstow the previous night. I REALLY didn't want to start driving at 0200 to make that delivery.
    And there is no where to park around there.

    After my delivery this morning in Flagstaff, AZ I went to Little America.
    No Walmart trip lately so I had no meat for dinner, but they have a nice whole chicken that I got. So I had a good dinner tonight.
    Not there now, though.

    About 2 hours after I got there the Mac 30 had another load. Purina in Flagstaff going to Shafter, delivering any time tomorrow to the Target DC. I grabbed it.
    MUCH better than Santa Barbara.


    Anyone know if the Walmart in Barstow is accessible to trucks? I really need to restock a few things, and I've never tried to get in there.

    According to Trucker Path app, yes. Go to the entrance after stoplight entrance. Dirt lot next to paved parking.
