Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

too bad it's a dinky one. On the way out to OR I stopped at Ogallala, never again without a jacked up 4x4. On the way back, I stopped at Lexington and had to hunt a parking spot it was so crowded.

 

Well, I feel stupid.(Or else I need to start wearing my glasses more often). I hustled down to my delivery today as soon as I could get it there, thinking that I had a 1400 pickup in Dallas today. Thanks to several traffic jams (yeah, there was traffic in Dallas today), I got to the shipper at 14:30. Went and checked in and discovered that my appointment isn't until tomorrow...got out to my truck and sure enough, this picks up 8/7. I looked at my earlier load that I just delivered, and it had today's date...so now I just came down to the Wilmer yard because I didn't want to park at the shipper for 23 hours. Besides, I really need a shower and don't want to park at any of the crap hole truckstops in the Dallas area.

Speaking of my delivery today. This is the first time I have had to pay a convenience fee to drop a loaded trailer. (And it says it in the load info that you request a $46 lumper fee to pay it). What's next, a toll booth to exit the property? (like the 'certain ethnic' amusement park a.k.a. Jersey where you have to pay to get out)
