    Ya nice people. Asked if I had a dog. I said yes. She said are you sure? And winked at me so I had haha just kidding. So she reminded me not to bark inside.

    I forgot I had been there before. @Chewy352 reminded me with that pic. That place sux. I ran out of hours there too and they let me stay but it wasn't without hesitation on their part. They told me next time if I don't have at least 4 hours left on my log don't bother to come load. That place was full of megas and a bunch of drivers who couldn't speak english.

    I'll never go back there. Everyone else can have all that fun to themselves.
    Sorry @BACON XXL for not recognizing this place last night when you asked.
     
    Chewy352 and KriegHund Thank this.

    It's all good. I talked to a driver that runs the account a lot today. He pointed out I had figured my mileage wrong and there is no way I was covering 730 miles in my governed company truck. So it was pointless to camp out just to have a full clock. So here I sit @ the pilot right off 65.

    He did give me some awesome advice. He told me to park at the pilot and walk over to chevron and get some bbq. I did and glad I did. Full dinner $8. Fyi..

    Calvert is tough. Best advice I can give is get your ten in satsuma and show up at 15 minutes before delivery. Not a flatbedder I know that likes that place.

    When they were TK you would have thought you were entering a nuclear facility security was overbearing at times. Not as bad now but generally will not let you show up more than 30 min early for your pick up and want you gone soon after loading. We haul for them daily. Sometimes depends on who is working security. I wouldn't count on being able to stay. Hit and miss at best.

    Not only does that Chevron have good BBQ, you gotta try the breakfast gumbo. Very clean place and the employees all act like they are happy to see you.
