    Filthadelphia and Pittsburgh are the worst within a days drive of here, from what I was always told.

    I unloaded about a block south of I-30 just off of 360 this morning. If it wasnt for all the parked cars & big trucks, I coulda backed right in there...but... cars & big trucks were all over the place... right in my way. But, hey, I got'er in there.

    I find Atlanta has the most lazy inefficient shippers/recievers . They always take way to long to get you loaded or unloaded then won't allow u to sleep their even tho they ran you out of time. They don't care.

    Salt Lake comes to mind. FFE Dispatch was the slowest. one took two hours filling out three little forms I needed on a load. In front of me an wife team no less on a bonded cherry load.

    I hate to pick on them. But I told ST in Lancaster not to send us that way anymore for anything that needs a stop there with them.

    It must be nice to loll around a quiet office up there doing hardly nothing at all.

    Waco of all places was our very favorite. Usually because MM Mars was down the road a ways and needed to have us on the way really quickly. Now THAT's dispatching. One of our favorites actually.

    I miss philly. Particularly the street food. Now that's around the west end, near the navy yard, old stadium etc. The people there did not mistreat us but it would take a few dollars, newport smokes or marbolos according to racial preference to make short term friends while waiting to swap containers up there. It's a hassle getting out of there though.
