    Well, this week hasn't been so great, with having to sit in and talk with safety, and having the bad news of a load claim for what happened on Friday, it's put be behind. I sat till early afternoon yesterday waiting for a load, my temp fm got me a load that went from kokomo Indiana, to Middletown ohio. A 2 stop load, where I loaded up on kokomo, went to Middletown, unloaded with one product, then was loaded with finished product right after, then back to kokomo. With lagging late yesterday, I was unloaded late tonight in kokomo, my next load is a pickup on Elkhart Indiana heading to Baltimore, a load of steel tubing. 608 miles one way...no parking at the receiver....gonna have to get in early, get unloaded early...first time going to Baltimore, should be interesting.

    We fuel at both TA truck stops there. Save your receipts, it's pay to park. They do have a good bit of parking though.

    If you fuel your good and if you spend a certain amount in the store or restaurant your fine. You get like 2 or 3 hours free. I spent a lot of time there on the John deer specialized. Was in that area all the time

    Loading at bull moose tube in Elkhart Indiana, it has to be the most asinine operation every. I've been here out of hours since about 730, I'm finally inside getting loaded, and an told it will be several hours till they finish with me because each bundle of product loads in a different bay, and I have 4 other bays to go to, with 5 other trucks in front of me.
