I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

in the interest in complete honesty
it has been 4 years since i been by the 55 TS
been a few months since i paid for parking
I get my moneys worth in SLC front row to watch the show at Sapp Bros

 

at the drop yard in Memphis. 0900 live unload in the morning 5 miles away.

could have gotten to the customer but couldn't get a phone number anywhere from anyone for the place to ask if I could park there. initial load assignment said no appt. pulled it up on the map and looked like a few places I could squeeze in there and hide till morning but only info I could find on the place was a press release from where it opened in june. said they would employ 175 and there aren't even 100 parking spaces around the building. my gut was gnawing at me that showing up there tonight with only 15 minutes left probably was going to be a bad idea so I decided against it.

hate starting the clock for 5 miles in the morning but given the possibility of getting there with no time left and not being able to park, the loves or the J after 1800 or a secure fenced lot at the drop yard it was a pretty easy choice lol

 

My father in law was making an Elecrolux delivery in Carteret, NJ. Not looking forward to fighting over parking at the Bloomsbury TA, he decided to call the customer to see if they allowed overnight parking.

The guy asked him to "define" overnight parking. When Art made it clear he was delivering a load to them in the morning, gave them their PO number for verification and would be staying with the truck, they said no problem.

When he told me that story, I said it was probably due to the local drivers who always want to park for free for hometime. They didn't want a truck in the way whose driver went home.

 

1619 local time and the sharks are circling the parking lot.

 

Gosh....I hope that the Jets don't show up

 

Welp, sitting in a reserved spot at Baytown. Bout to go see how hot the water is. Company I'm leased to gets out best fuel deals at TA/Petro. Lil bit of on at Wilco and Loves. None at PFJ, in the immortal words of Jimmy Haslam, "#### em hard, #### em often". Found a few mom and pops to deal with, but none that I know of down here. Anyway, keep er tween the ditches, we out.

 

G'night folks. Need to rise early in the morning to get moving.

To all/any Canadians out there... Happy thanksgiving!

To the rest of you... GET BACK TO WORK AND WAIT YOUR TURN!

 

Buddy of mine laid it over he's ok but #### 3 in a row.

 

Glad he's OK. Where was that?
