    Parked at the TA in Harrisburg, PA. I traded an impossible appointment this afternoon for one that is so easy tomorrow afternoon, something's bound to be a problem. Got the shades up, TV on, dog walked, now to go indoors for some food not in a plastic wrapper. Then sleep without an alarm.

    This load includes a trailer swap for a good customer. I've definitely gotten spoiled with the TK reefer I bought last year. This one has a Carrier on it and frozen stuff inside, so I'm having to adjust to the noise level a bit. Well.. that and not working for 10 days LOL. Good news is both trailers are 48 footers and nice backing. Liking the roll up doors too. Even better, the one going back to GA has a dead reefer unit, so a quiet ride back.

    I was at least kind enough to stop in my parking place so that the flatbed next to me is shielded from the noise somewhat by the side of my trailer versus the unit right out his window. Bet he closed his window. Bet I'll be checking my 5th wheel in the morning too LOL.
