    Fultonville NY T/A.....

    The restaurant used to be the one bright spot in an otherwise worn out facility. No more.

    I know it's been sliding downhill for years, but IMO they done bottomed out.

    The whole row along the fence is now reserved parking, putting a strain on an already inadequate parking area.

    On a positive note, they refurb'd the showers. And the staff here is still "finest kind".

    One hour from the drop tomorrow, then see how far toward Cincy I can get with the empty wagon.

    @Rocks I had something similar happen to me with a civilian in a car. The boss got on the phone and started giving me an earful. I told him if he thought he could do better, the keys are in the truck.....Unfortunately, at the time, inexpensive dash cams did not yet exist.

    Yes sir! Those cameras are super helpful... :yes2557: I feel more "protected" with my camera now...
    I bought it after a yard jockey scratched the front of the truck while I was at the shipping office and nobody saw anything... :biggrin_25512: It took me all day to figure out how that happened...:scratch: till I realized it was the yard jockey's tractor... by the color and shapes of the scratches. My company believed me but I really wanted to know who did it and show them.

    After my boss got all the pictures I sent him about the lady driver he told me (jokingly) that he was tempted to call the cops on her and tell them how bad of a driver she was... :biggrin_2559:
    My boss drove a truck once... for one year only but at least he understands what we go thru out on the roads and said today that the more he observes 4 wheelers, the more he thinks how idiots they are... :biggrin_1square7:

    And today I delivered at another one of those tiny places very small for big trucks in the middle of a residential area... Went in, to the back yard, and after they moved a couple of vehicles I was able to turn truck around and back it to the dock facing the street...
    This is the view after I was at the dock...

    The panoramic picture shows some distortions... So, here it is a regular picture of the same place.

    And now I am at rest area about 10 miles from my pick up location in Cincinnati.
    It's raining, and raining and raining...
