    The pay is better, but I'm with Crusty. I hate all big cities and now, I hate driving a truck in hills.

    I want my flatland North and South Dakota trips back. Waaaaahhhh!

    So I brought my shipment of used-up batteries to the smelter here in Noo Yawk and got here early, hoping for a quick unload. No such luck.

    You're early, she said.

    Yes, I am, I said. I hope that's a good thing, I said.

    Well, I will see what I can do for you, but we really want you within an hour or so of your 2330 appointment, she said.

    Thank you for doing what you can, I said.

    And I dropped my trailer and bobtailed to the Waiting Lot...where I wait. Perhaps for three hours until my 2330 appointment time.

    Bummer.

    I am in the empty trailer yard where I will pick up my full one in the morning. I've run out of time and I fully expect to be aroused early. <yawn>

    PS. I wouldn't even think about trying to find a parking space in any public place in Newark at 0200...

    I didn't like this place when I flew in here and I don't like it when I drive in here.
