You and me both. I'd rather go down to Waco and get glass...and I HATE glass loads.

 

Maybe this will work

 

Oops

 

ALL:

In Gary, IN, the ramp from Grant Street to WB 80/94 is closed and if they had a detour marked, I missed it. I think you can take the next left onto 25th Avenue and follow it down to Burr St by the TA and get on the interstate that way. I couldn't get over in the left lane fast enough and ended up getting the scenic tour of Gary today. Such a beautiful city!

 

It is not very well marked. I was just at the Petro Sunday leaving Monday morning. Go east on 80/94 one exit, get off, turn left crossing over the interstate and then left to get back on westbound. I think that exit is Indiana 53 / Broadway but don't quote me in that.

 

It is, because that's where I ended up, the long way. I went on down Grant Street into downtown Gary, turned right on US 12 and took that to Broadway/IN 53 and took it back to the interstate.

 

Ugh I can't win for losing. In the shop again. This time for a check engine light.

 

Welp, tomorrow's gonna suck bigtime. Snagged a load going to Cleveland so I could get home and get some stuff together for my new company. Never seen a load like this before. All I had to go on when I booked it was the city of origin and the destination city. The wouldn't tell me the pickup address until after I was empty this morning. Now I know why. What a friggin nightmare that place was. Had I been able to see it on Google I would've turned it down. I didn't find out where it was going until I got the BOL. Again, would have turned this load down. It's going to The Q. Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cavs play. Right friggin downtown, and at 8am in the middle of rush hour. I'm so GD pissed right now I don't even have words strong enough to describe my anger. At least not any that could be posted here. So glad I'm leaving. F this place.

 

What’s the problem? What the difference between a dock at an arena or at a warehouse?

 

Normally, nothing. But this is Cleveland. I live relatively close to Cleveland, I know that town. First off, Ohioans are by far the worst drivers I've ever encountered on the road. Second, traffic flow in that area is extremely poorly designed. And did I mention rush hour?
