    I was there last night as well, after a live unload at Safeway.

    I lucked out with Mac 30, though. It had 2 load offers and I took the one to Tolleson, AZ over the one going to Temecula, CA. Twice the miles, and there is nothing even near Temecula so I didn't want to get stuck there.
    I deliver tomorrow to the Home Depot DC, then pick up a Costco load going to Henderson, NV the next day.

    I'm at the TA in Buttonwillow tonight.

    Picked up a load in Manteca that's going to Temecula. Wonder if it's the same load? Only got one offer on Mac 30 and it picked up at midnite.
    No appt for delivery. Dl said I have all day tomorrow to deliver. I get a message saying delivery appt is for anytime Monday. Called dl and #####ed about it. He sent me a message saying talk to a manner name Carlos in the morning to see of I can tcall it.
    Am at a rest area near boron off 58.
    I always go this route when going to jurupa valley or early areas

    If it is the same load it is Medline at both ends.
    And if it were me and that was the only load offering, I would have ignored it and hoped some other poor soul would have picked it up.
    Sorry.

    By the way...
    I won't pick up or deliver ANY load at midnight.
     
    dptrucker Thanks this.

    Dow Corning most likely. Those loads are 99% pre-loaded (even if the load assignment says 'live') and usually have a decent window on both ends.
    I picked up my last load there and delivered today at the Home Depot in Tolleson, AZ.

    I bobtailed out so I could get to the Walmart, then came to the terminal for the night.
    Headed to Henderson, NV with a Costco load tomorrow.

    Steve always says he won't do those Costco loads as much as he loves Costco, but then takes a Costco load, although never to Henderson, Summerlin and the Business center are better? At least it's a pretty night here in Phx.

    Asked her if they had tractor trailer parking and she said yes. Thinks she got confused lol.
    Drove by and saw nowhere to.get in. Saw a knight across the street So parked next to him.
    Asked him if he was staying at motel 6 and he said yes. He said the motel parking lot where we parked is charging 30 dollar to park.
    So I went there and asked. He said yes. I asked if he had rooms for 2 nites. He said yes. And truck parking would be free.. So I am staying here.

    At the Richmond terminal. Haven't been outside of VA in about a month.

    Have an "A service" due on my truck. Hopefully it doesn't take much longer than a B service. Loaner trucks are scarce here.
