    Yes, I have. Threw me for a loop I ain't lying. After several weeks out running hard, I had maybe 12 hours to stop by house. Got home about 4pm, showered and crawled into bed. Then when I woke up, clock said 7:30, holy **** I'm late! Threw on clothes, jumped in pickup and headed to terminal. Pulled in to Burger king to grab a bite for breakfast and all the menus are for burgers. It had not even occurred to me it was still the prior evening, not the next morning and the BK is pretty ghetto so I order a crossainwich. Guy says we only do those for breakfast. Holy cow was I miffed. Then I realized I must have only slept an hour or two but was so tired thought I slept all night! I dunno about you but it threw me for a loop, felt disoriented for a minute or two.

    Man.

    Whenever I wake up during the night the first thing I do is look at the alarm clock in terror thinking I’m late. :biggrin_2552:

    Is that a Driver Tailgate Load. Seriously, I’m tempted to get a 17 stop Load. Put the wife to work. She says we can do it. I don’t think She realizes reality. Something tells Me I’ll be doing all the work. Lol.

    Yep, same reason Longhorn Steakhouse gives you all the nice warm bread and butter you want, while waiting for your food. By the time my steak arrives, I’m already full.

    The smell of Subway bread in the oven reminds me of a bandaid. Its shipped frozen from Switzerland. Fresh?

    Would you have to do all 17 in a day plus pickups?

    But they look so good on the menu. We’ve started splitting meals again. Had a Ribeye at T/A last week. New 10 Oz steaks were back ordered. Got 2 6 Oz in its place. Perfect!! It was actually a good dinner. Usually try to avoid most Country Pride restaurants. Too many regrets, especially from bad buffet experiences. Always looks better than it is. On another note. Huddle House Country fried steak w/ gravy was also very good.That concludes my weekly restaurant review. Ha!!

    Near the front of the 10 car wreck yesterday that cost me 3 hrs. Was this hot shot. Typical dually no bed hauling a big box on trailer. #### thing was tacoed bad, trailer was holding the back of pickup down and the front wheels were about a foot off the ground front end was wiped out. They must of hauled off whatever it rear ended away because couldn't see anything around it that could cause that much damage
