Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I came through there on Monday and it was the same way. Usually that's caused by slow pumps.

 

Drivers taking 30 minute breaks and showers while parked at the fuel pumps

 

That's why some fuel stops need bouncers that are prepared to bounce.

 

That place has been on my ‘never’ list a long time….

 

If you go to the other side of 85, next to the McDonalds is an independent TS that quite often has parking when nowhere else within miles of Atlanta has any. It’s free if you sign in at the fuel desk to let them know you’re not squatting.

 

Mine idles at 800 as long as the parking brake is pulled.

 

Got into a little argument with my own BH today.

Pretty much low on hours so planned to get a reset but never got hit with so much push back before.

Dude seemed shocked and appaled that I would even want to stop when I still would have hours to run a load after a 10.

Even sent me a msg asking for me to reconsider since he's only trying to make me as productive as possible.

I had to hold my tongue cause I wanted to hit back that getting me long loads instead same day short hauls with live pu/del would go a long way at making me more productive but didn't.

If I had to place a wager is that maybe one of his metrics is low right now so he's trying to keep everyone running 7 days a week straight to pump the number up.

 

Yeah, they don't like us doing 34s if not under a load, and not needing one. I'll admit they can usually keep me running where I don't need one because of my 70, but sometimes it's nice to just relax for a day. Usually wait until i get in the shop
