    I never use GPS. Look at the satellite view on Google maps and you can get a feel for it. You turn under the overpass to get to it.

    My first 'run' here, I went to Yonkers and ended up staying the night in Keasbey! TOTAL SH***OLE! haha I was brave enough to take a shower there too. Even though I've been there a few times, since, I always drop, hook and bust tail OUT! haha

    You're welcome. I'm still enjoying the ride. Had a fairly easy month in July, but will be back out in the system getting after it next week.

    I'm on my way up to Oshkosh. This USED to be an easy run....until they ##**ed up 94 and turned it into a 2 lane road up to Milwaukee! grrrrrr. Lost an hour of 'layover pay' and there's a new war game I really wanted to play on Vassal, I'm learning! haha

    My first year they sent me into Plaquemine right before a big evacuation of New Orleans for a hurricane. It was the next one after Katrina. Scott told me if I got caught up in it to put down traffic delay on the sheet I turn in for hours and they would pay me for it.

    Any time I get stuck in a back up longer than 15 minutes I write down the time I wasted sitting and they pay me for it. I am honest about it but most loads it adds up to at least an hour. Had I lost layover I definitely would have turned that in.

    I got stuck by the Atlanta airport watching aircraft land for a couple of hours. I turned that in and got paid for it.

    what 'sheet' are you guys talking about? I've never seen one like that. UNLESS you're talking about filling it out as 'options' and typing out what it is on q/c? Word of advice....don't use the Petro in Remington, IN. My abs power cord went bad....dude pulled that off, and replaced it...BUT, didn't 'lock it in'....guess I'll have to unplug/replug everytime I take break until I get back to HP. I'm trying to stay out and no matter what, it's just NOT working at all for me this year.
