    Got to the Grace tank wash at 1400. Hanging at the Flying J near there until around 1000 tomorrow.

    I think I passed you on your way out 481x your truck number? I’m over at the terminal now

    Met a Superior driver today at the Columbus, Oh Quala Wash. Sounds like Superior is the place to be. He mentioned being a driver there for 16 plus years and had nothing negative to say. Sounds very tempting but I'm like 200ish miles from the nearest terminal in Pasadena.

    Yeah, that's too far away. I don't care for being 100 away so we're selling the house next year and moving.

    We were already planing on selling, we just hadn't decided where to move yet. That's still kind of up in the air. If we don't go hang at the beach, we'll move somewhere in the NC mountains but close enough to either Greer or the Eastern TN terminal. I forget the name of the last one.

    Kingsport. Don’t forget Marion Va as well. That’s a really pretty area in the mountains.

    Halfway to the Morrow Terminal. It's a good ride today. I'll stay at the Atlanta terminal tonight and deliver in the morning. Think it's a half mile or so from the terminal. I do have to air it off but that's too easy. Looking forward to home time and I've only been out 4 days now. Lol

    Yea I would hate driving back and forth 200 or so miles. The company I'm with has a yard that's a ten minute drive from my apartment. Good luck with the move. The mountains in NC are gorgeous.

    It's not an air off; it's a pump off and they do everything except vent the tank for you. On break while they unload, so now I need a tank wash.

    It's 0800, but I'll give them a few minutes before I bug them about where and when.
