    Yup. About 25 spots behind that Chinese Buffet if people park decently.

    There is a little tiny gas station and another restaurant between the Pilot and the Chinese buffet place too. The little fuel stop might park 4 trucks. The non-Chinese restaurant next to it parks about 20 trucks, I think.

    There is a Loves and a mom and pop truck stop only a few miles from that crappy Pilot. Christiana, TN, I think?

    That Murfreesborough Pilot parking layout was clearly designed by a grade-A moron.

    Sadly I was overloaded yesterday and after the 50 mile drive to get Cat scaled the shipper was closed by the time we returned.

    All the black berry bushes are blooming around me.

    *sigh*

    Gotta wait for those to ripen.

    Slept near the shipper. Dark and quiet. A light rain fell in the middle of the night. I woke up at 5am and walked about a mile to a Dutch Bro’s. Coffee kiosk.

    So happy about a good cup.

    @Blu_Ogre my trainee decided he wasn’t comfortable driving with the tandems barely over. So I had to sit.

    At least you had a good walk. Always appreciated that part when I did.

    @otterinthewater His CDL, his second chance, his call. I respect that decision.

    Not much about 100 pounds if the first scale they used was accurate. But they were staring at Dunsmere who has a rep of intolerance. Also blitz week.
