    Did well FatDady... :yes2557:

    Me... I did my power walk... from this truck stop to TA across the street and back. And found out it wasn't as full as I though it might me... :biggrin_25512:

    Almost 2 hrs ago it was like this...

    [​IMG]

    Nice breeze right now... :biggrin_25519: Windows open... Will leave at 5 am heading to CA for delivery on Wednesday. Called receiver, scheduled the appt., then called broker and notified them...
    Then, my dsp called me to know if she could set appt. for reload on Wed afternoon about 7 hrs north of where I would be... but after consulting my notes I told her, no, unless shipper has a place for me to take my 10 after loaded cause I would be out of hrs from my 14... In that case she scheduled it for Thursday morning... And then, I called shipper and re-scheduled that for 2 hrs earlier... :yes2557:
     
    FatDaddy Thanks this.

    Pulled the brakes at the 100 on 59 in Bama. Lots of parking at the Petro. FatDaddy if you're coming up 59 from La. there's a lil fuel stop at the 15 in Ms, McNeill I think it's called, then up in Hattiesburg there's usually parking at the Texaco beside the Krystal's. prolly a couple of places I'm forgetting but there's a few spots up that way. I'm idling cause its a tad warm down here. Was nice and cool in Raphine Va. this morning. Well callin it a session. Y'all have a good one and we'll check ya later.
     
    FatDaddy Thanks this.

    Yeah I seem to remember a few spots I coulda parked at but figured I'd scout it during the daylight hours and make some notes since it's been awhile and couldn't remember for sure.

    So is what your saying is , I could have probably had a beer a massage and a happy ending :biggrin_25523:

    I did see that place when I came off 94 and thought to myself " NO WAY " and made a left and parked at the TA so I could fuel first thing a.m. lol

    Its not that I dont like chicago , but I had like 4 stops down town ( well only one was right downtown ) peroria meats...


    Oh well , I got er done and didnt haul one bridge ....:biggrin_25524::biggrin_2559:

    I know what ya mean....course the advantage of bein old....i really don't give a #### who might see me....and even if the boss was here(which Could happen)all he'd say is "Where's mine?"
    lol.....

    and I NEVER drink &drive...so ifn I did go get one....then I'd be there for at least another 10 hrs.
