    Man I'm glad we got out of GA when we did!! Roads were a mess yesterday, and the hills through the Chattanooga area were slick as snot! No parking for us, but we're almost to Denver now :)

    I only go to the meat market, and there are a couple of places inside that sell pizza and other stuff, but I normally just order the Chinese food. I got those guys on speed dial. TSO Chicken and baby leg size egg rolls.

    I did the fuel routing thing and I was looking up fuel stops it sent me, and one was off the path and then I checked the route and was thinking the computer went crazy. So I called dispatcher and I was like did they add more stops to this load. He's like ohh man yeah they just added 2 more stops. Conklin, and Syracuse. This should be fun none of them have an appointment yet.

    I only ever went to the meat market. That pizza joint was really good back then. Does the bank on site cash comcheks now? They didn't back then and it made no sense to me to have a bank in the market where drivers use comcheks all the time and not take them.

    Hometime is over. Back on the road. Picking up at 1am in Elk Grove, IL then heading to Indianapolis, IN then deadheading to Elgin, IL...our first time picking up from R&L Carriers. Taking it to their terminal in Dallas.

    It's funny how things work out for me because I picked up an application from R&L Elgin a few days ago. Now I can drop it off & use the time to introduce ourselves to the terminal manager. Corporate office in Wilmington, OH hires teams but a good recommendation from him should speed things up.
