    Definitely one of the things I really don't like about Prime are the rats. OTOH, alcohol and trucks just don't mix... you're probably better off hopping on the wagon unless you're doing some extended hometime.

    18032... yeah, I really hate on that one. Still. :biggrin_25510:

    Last week I was running empty from Perrysburg OH to Grand Rapids MI with a 28xxx, then grossing 57k in a 143xxx to Columbia NJ... 10.67 mpg. Oh yeah baby! :biggrin_255:

    10 hours at Tar Heel, dangit, but on my way now. Jackson OH at the Valero. Got pot roast in the slow cooker for supper tonight.

    Wow...I was just letting you know what they have.


    At what place exactly did I suggest waiting a beer off in the truck?

    And yes, they do have hotels in that area if you were so inclined.

    Not really a revelational theory for a driver to stay in a hotel even when he has a truck sleeper, trainer did it randomly just for the hell of it and room service in Springfield the weekend I tested.

    Good thing i have the hopefully obvious, but I won't hold my breath based on what I have seen so far, common sense and willpower not to drink, and have not drank since I took this job since I have not been home yet.

    As for the adult stores / strip joints / 'gentleman's clubs'...sad.

    Back at home base Olney



    Its almost never a good trip taking the gw bridge
    If you can swing it, take 287 north then east and over the tappenzee bridge, or opposite if coming S.

    thats what I was trying to do, and stupid four wheelers, had a guy sitting next to me the whole mile I had signaled to get into the lane needed, and tried every tactic to get him to move, then had another driver pull two lanes over, right in front of me going onto the ramp, making it just not safe for me to get over to it

    @chuck I had to park at an adult bookstore and had a guy rat me out, my night dispatcher called and told me to go find another spot to park, I was asleep, with no hours to run, and told the dispatcher if he makes me move the truck 1.im telling safety you woke me up and wanted me to drive illegally to another parking spot...at 2 am...in nebraska where all the truck stops and rest areas are all full at that time and 2. I asked him if he was going to pay the ticket if I got pulled over, inspected, or god forbid got into an accident...never heard anything else about the matter since then, and that dispatcher hates me

    The heavier the traffic the earlier you need to get over. I typically will head over to the right around the 3mm in there when it's thick.

    Rest area south of Cedar Falls on I380, headed to Sioux City IA for first thing.
