    I'll service failure their ###. I even got to the drop a half hour early. Called them and they said maybe an hour ahead at the most I could come.

    Eating dinner at Denny's at the J in Texarkana....against my better judgement....but I found a pull through. Gonna finish up here than finish the 300 miles to Houston. Glad we got a yard there so I don't have to worry about parking, although I do have some secret spots I could go if I needed to.

    @ Loves in Sioux Falls , SD .......

    I am drooling over about every other truck I see up here :yes2557:

    Its not looking good so far back out . Kinda slow and I am not liking it :biggrin_25512:
    I think they are bringing way to many people onto this farmland acct in our company not to mention all the trucks I see that say " swift " on them pulling central trailers :biggrin_25510:

    The question is : can I last two more months ?
    signs are pointing to NO !!!

    Delivered the load at this location this morning...

    [​IMG]

    There were lots of volunteers and they unloaded the whole trailer by hand cause there was no equipment... It didn't take long though... :biggrin_25512:
    2 TV news channels were there and took pictures.... I would like to post links to the articles and pictures but don't think I should be "advertising" about my co. and these events here...
    Now parked at a service plaza in FL... which is IMO, much better than noisy and congested Pilot and TA, etc on I-75...
    However, whoever designed this truck parking area is a total idiot with regard to trucks... and wasted a lot of good space, making it very difficult for trucks to park... And these "stalls" or poles or whatever it's called are useless and a hassle for trucks to maneuver... Some are damaged...

    [​IMG]

    I think I got the best spot... and parking lot is still kinda empty....
    After pick up tomorrow will head to TX... :yes2557:

    Thanks .

    It was good for a month or two , but when I ask where the miles are ? They say whats it matter you get paid guaranteed millage. Thats the part that has me irritated to say the least .

    We shall see . Gonna make some calls , see if something falls my way quick , but I got this feeling I am gonna be waiting two more months before it will break for me....
     
    Rocks Thanks this.
