    There is a possibility we haul different types of freight! And sometimes, it’s best to lose the scale ticket on short notice… :D Apparently I have a pretty good “dumb look”. Worked that time anyway

    Got up at 0130 just to find out there’s no work today. Cool. Couldn’t have told me yesterday so I didn’t worry about going to bed and making sure things were good to go.

    We're parked semi covertly across from the indigenous receiver.

    That was pretty much a white knuckler coming into The Houston in the torrential tain.

    This is the really Houston part of Houston. It's SUPER MEGA INDIGENOUS.

    Heads up....
    Local paper has an article on this , but under a pay wall. Any of you on Facebook can get it there.,
    2 things, 1st was a reference to truck access parking and 2nd, it is an easy off I22 and up to it, and back on. Also It is just west of the Fulton MS scales.
    A good location to get off, recover a little and get road info.. Closed now, demolishing/building new. Be open in Sept. Link sorta locates.

    Don't know about you boat people but if you did that in the Army; my period, you would be so ###### warped you would not be any good for anything.
    Just my observation at the time when they offered me $1500 to re up.
