    Meat loads have made me consider going vegan more than anything else. I haven't, but if I did it'd be because of that.
    The wellness check message I only seem to get if I'm on a 34. Sometimes weekends.

    I went to JBS in Omaha one time and me being the idiot I am got all screwed up in there and went behind the plant to turn around. It was one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever made. There were random cow parts just laying around and someone was dragging a downer across the lot with a forklift and a chain. :confused:

    If it's gonna be a long break, I don't always go right to sleep, so if they call me because I am sleeping and didn't see the message...their hearing will be significantly diminished for a while after I blow their eardrum out of the other side of their head, along with a significantly offensive stream of vulgarity...then a click and my phone goes on do-not-disturb from then on...and my forwarding number that I have set up is the naval observatory master clock 'at the tone, the time will be......"

    Another day of low visibility. Almost the whole length of i-80 in Nevada was covered in ice fog bring visibility down to less than 100 ft.

    Stopped just shy of the California border for my 10. My clock will be ready to go come 4pm. Am wondering if it be worth it to drive closer and try to find parking around 7pm in California or just sit here and become a day driver to deliver on Monday in the afternoon. If the peoplenet location is the one they want me to go to.

    Last truck stop along my route is just 165mi away and has 200 spots but this is California and it will be late afternoon when I get there.

    Corndogs....44k+ of corndogs. Since I brought a trailer in to be live loaded, I needed to pull it back out once loading was complete, so dropping and taking a break was out. @keebler13579 was spot on about that Tyson plant and it only took them a little over 3 hours to complete my load(which was a little under 2 hrs past my load time since I showed up early). I decided to head back to the T/A in Terrell for the rest of a split break. After dodging a few drunks on the road, I made it and found parking. Load is friggin heavy, as expected. It's a Tyson to Tyson transfer, so why not load as much on the outside carrier's truck as possible, right? With 3/8 tank I am just over 79k...and legal enough I can top off my tanks and still get over a DOT scale. But since I am split logging, I won't make it as far as I wanted tonight, so I will use more of my tomorrow's drive time than I'd like to drop this load...so it looks like Tuesday before I pick up again, unless I am picking up out of the same facility in Macon. We shall see.

    As few trailers as were on their lot im surprised they wouldnt let you take a break and come back for it. I was there earlier this week and lot was pretty empty

    Might, but just don't know if there will be parking around 7pm time. I usually don't park till around 5/6 am as a night driver so never really have to search for parking.

    The 49er is pretty big. I believe pilot took them over so you may check for reserved online. Last time I was there they dis charge for parking
