    I turned down a regional job just for that reason Zoomer. They said if you get in early and park at 1400 you had to be back in the truck rolling at midnight. No thanks.

    We'll take you up on that if we're able. Don't know what's gonna happen yet. Asked at 1500 about parking at the VW plant, no answer. I'd like to get there tomorrow eve and park but no idea about safe parking there. (Guess I could camp out at the US Express headquarters--there's trucks there)

    There's a very small Speedway ts at I-75 x 7. It's just down the street from vw. I have no idea about parking at the plant it self. Also, US Xpress just has corporate offices in Chatt (also at x7) but their main truck terminal is a little south in Tunnel Hill GA.

    I know the Speedway--not an option late at night. (Was joking about US Express)

    Still waiting to hear from the Overlords at Central Command about parking at VW as I'm forbidden from calling myself.

    If breakfast is an option I'll let you know; I seldom turn down free food and good conversation by choice!

    I very seldom call myself, the wait time is terrible, and the music is horrendous.

    True story. All communications have to go through "Central Command" (quotes are literal and intentional)

    Yet another reason I'm outta here.

    Just cleared receiving, picked up the Laredo load and relayed to other driver. Now I gotta zoom up to Knoxville to pick up an empty, then empty move to Hickory to (FINALLY!) drop off The Hot Chick at her parents' for an extended visit.

    Learned a few minutes ago that I may not me able to move to Holland just yet. Am currently preparing for a self lobotomy in the event I am stuck here. (Seriously, it will take a major attitude adjustment for me to make the best of it here--and maybe a new dispatch team)
