    Saw @MIT at Lapel a few days ago. Stopped there twice last week. First time I was confused by the yard dog telling me to back in a door and he pulled my tandems and opened my doors. We got to talking the second time and I realized he wasn't the grumpy jerk who used to be the yard dog that @keen98 almost got in a fight with, haha. Much nicer guy.
     
    MIT Thanks this.

    Lol you are right, the yard dog in Lapel was super friendly. He also opened my doors and pulled the tandems for me. He was the second friendly yard dog I saw that day. Had to go to Apvion and pick up an empty the yard dog there talked to me for a half hour.
    The millis yard dog at Owens in Lexington is a pretty good guy also.

    I ran into one of the Millis yard dog/daycab drivers in Waco one day and he was just happy to have someone to talk to lol.

    After I asked this, I was sent my weekend preplans that let me know that it really wouldn't benefit me to go in early so I just hung out in Austinburg for a little while. I should've asked her once I got there whether or not they would take us early but I didn't think about it.

    It's hot as balls in Memphis. I'm ready for it to be winter again.

    I was so happy to get out of Trenton this morning. I took an unexpected 34. Nothing was coming out of the brewery.

    I was there yesterday morning for fuel and was surprised at how empty it was compared to the last time I was there.

    Yeah, the guy in Lexington was helpful when I was there. For the most part, most yard dogs just go about their stuff. But that old guy in Lapel...yeesh

    Ya it definitely wasn’t how it was a couple weeks ago, completely full. Things are hopefully picking up with the economy.
