    You will be fine. It's a little wet in some places, but no where close to what is in in the midwest. Had some storms come through yesterday but no issues at all.

    This is my home area. If you need help with anything, let me know.

    According to the reviews of this place, it may take awhile to get loaded. (Miller/coors in Albany GA)
    My appointment is for 8pm. I'm at the pilot next door napping until I get closer to check in time.

    From personal experience, it can take a day or more, even for companies who drop and hook there. Not saying it takes that long every time, but it certainly does some of the time. Could be worse.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Well I'm checked in, but I noticed at least one line jumper who arrived after me, yet is in a door. Closer appointment time than me? Maybe. Contracted carrier? Perhaps.
    I just know if it takes until morning to load, it's going to screw up my next week, where I'm due in Austin Tx on Wednesday morning.

    Left with my load at midnight, drove a bit, did a 8hr to drive more today, now I'm completing the split and I should be in MI tonight. Just can't leave for TX until about 11am. It'll work out.

    I'm at my backhaul in Waco that goes the the warehouse for a beer company in Ohio. There is a long line and a "wait until we call you with a door" mentality.
    So long as I get home to renew my cdl and med card, I don't really care.

    Renewed my cdl today, since my deadline is tomorrow . First time I've had to show my birth certificate to do so.
    Dot med card is all good too.
