    oh it's still dark in that back lot at night......but usually no problem parking until around 2100 or so.....

    but it's a #### long cold walk to the bathroom this time of year lol especially if there's snow on the ground.

    I'm stuck at the DC in leesport, pa. got a 475 mile deadhead home tomorrow cause the loads they had for today didn't get done.

    Just south of Fresno at exit 121 on the 99 , some Shell truck stop , finally got loaded at the correct place bumping the dock about 1630..they were pretty quick I got to admit . Came down here to scale out...nailed it by the way....and said forget it I will deal with getting over grapevine and around the 210 tomorrow in the early am...didn't feel like having my 14 chase me all the way to Coachella. Heck I don't have to be in San Antonio till 0730 on the 3rd ....I should still be fine

    Flying,
    That sucks man! Been there myself.
    At least the deadhead home you can walk up the hills...
    It sucks you had to layover for nothing though!

    could have been worse lol the previous company would have just hung me out for another week instead of getting me home. i'll drag an empty home they need the trailers down there anyway.

    been a solid month....over 3000 every week so not bad for January. we've got more than we can do every plant is running behind right now. can't get in every Friday I guess. might get spoiled to that
     
    Rocks and EZ Money Thank this.

    Parked at home . Just watched True Grit , and not the new one . The old origanal John Wayne one.

    It reminds me a lot of my grandfather , I miss the old man ...

    I think Rio Lobo is gonna be watched tomorrow lol

    I have had so many fond memories of watching John Wayne movies with my grandpa. I am 35 YRS and had tears in my eyes while watching it ......
