    How often do you guys get approached by other drivers asking about Millis? It's happening to me quite often these days.

    Holy christ there was a Millis party going on at my home truck stop yesterday. 3 trucks there when I pulled in last night. When i was at Millis I never once saw another truck there ever, not even stopping through for a 30 or a bathroom break.

    The last 5 loads I ran had seals, not single one of the receivers even looked at them. I don't even put them on anymore. I'd rather have my doors free so I can check the load.

    Ha! That's where my in-laws live. Never liked that place, but the TA in Kingsville is a good place to stop. Plenty of empty spaces even late into the night. Hated fueling at that Love's. The lines were always ridiculous, the traffic flow is weird, and that place is always dirty. I don't miss going to Love's.

    There always seems to be a lot of us at Conneaut. Never seen 9 of us there at once, though.

    I don't seal anything if the shipper isn't checking it on my way out for the exact same reason. So I can do a proper load check along the way.

    I'll throw it on during my final approach to the receiver but 99.5% no one ever checks. If I'm dropping a trailer at a terminal for another driver I just hang the new seal in the back door so they can do as they wish. I also get to keep my straps that way.
     
    Farmer54 Thanks this.

    Also, there's usually something in the load info if a place is anal about having an intact seal.

    Ya I refuse to go to Petros or TA's ever since they felt the need to turn alot of their parking spaces into pay to park as soon as the ELD mandate went into effect. Havent given either a dime of my $$ since then. I prefer Loves over any of them. Of course I cook in my truck mainly so them having fast food doesnt bother me, and I've been doing it long enough now thst if I know I'm shutting doem at a busy Loves that I'll have to wait for a shower then I'll shower on my 30 in middke of day. But to each their own if we all preferred the same places then noones getting parking lol

    True enough. I'm almost always at a TA or Petro because of the fuel discounts. I get the best prices from them and Speedway typically.
