    Well no rest for the wicked. Outbound called with only 1 load that would get me to the house and it involved a 3 stop in central Arizona with drops that didn't knock off until Tuesday afternoon so I declined. Was offered about 15 other loads and decided to take the money maker out west again. Oh well mas dolares de mi:) On pace to gross 95K if I keep up at this speed. Best month ever miles wise.

    Not sure. I haven't had a trip anywhere near that area where I might go through it. Don't spend enough time at any of the terminals to hear the scuttlebutt.

    I try to stay out west when I can which is usually doable. Picking up a load now heading to southern Minnesota and hopefully able to snag a load from there back west.

    I have to pick up a load at Poly tomorrow morning at 0900. Problem is, I have to deliver at GM Arlington tonight at 2200. Obviously there is nowhere to park around here. Is there somewhere at Poly that I could park for the night? Btw, I work for an outside carrier.

    Just seeing this, hope you found a place. I used to park at the exit just west of the 408 spur. Head a block or so north and there is a road that turns to the right and has some opening in the middle to get turned around and then back down that road a bit. It has been a while since I parked there so perhaps it is no longer viable. Poly will not let you park there over night that is for certain. Also some good options off I30 x 41 Westmoreland road, head north 1 block and take L on La Reunion and go down a bit to various warehouses that you could park at particularly if you left fairly early.
