    OK got here in Laredo at the drop place, they won't accept the trailer without in inspection sheet. Came over to the terminal, they won't open for inspection for about 4 more hours. By the time all this stuff happens, the load will still be here when it should be deep within Mexico. No es me problemo.

    Every trailer going into Mexico has to go through the terminal to get inspected.

    Yes I thought so, but when the Tcall order says Tcall it over there (basically across the street from Laredo Terminal) I thought they knew something I didn't. No big deal other than I ran way faster than I needed to which costs my business money. Still managed 8 miles per gallon on the load and got a nice nap waiting for the inspection section of the shop to open. The nap satisfied the 2 hour portion of the split break and still delivered the load with a little over an hour to spare on my 70 lol. Taking a 34 down here, might as well, every other time I came down here had to sit anyway. No signal on the qualcomm for hours now, maybe that's a good thing.

    Gary,IN terminal, had my log class today, no violations just never took it. Honestly kind of a waste of time, at this point I know how to log, and I kind of think the way the instructor was interpreting a few things was not 100% correct.

    Still in Moberly. Was looking at the hours, and I could have made it to PHX by 10/6, but with 2 hours to spare. Decided, just get a hotel and do a 34. Why not, wal-mart dedicated is great as far as pay. Treat myself today

    I had occasion to stop there for lunch today en-route to VA and I must say that is some pretty good chicken. Very juicy and good breading adhesion... having said that, there was no seasoning in the batter/ breading. Gonna have to get you out to Gus's Fried Chicken if we are ever in Memphis at the same time. They have one location downtown, one in Cordova and the original in Mason, TN. Now that is some soul stirring fried chicken to be sure!!!

    Loves in Gadsden, AL for the night, then on to VA...

    Bravo for trying it yes it was very juicy and right no seasoning. Memphis sounds like a plan, couple places I want to try there but I always seem to get routed across MO instead of down.
