A lot of vans sitting here. Any of y'all in one of these vans? Mine has my name on the side, so I'm easy to spot.

No, we are near Atlanta but be VERY carefull at that place. The last several times we were there there have been robberies. We steer clear of that "J" now. Layoutshooter

I either stay out on 20 or a few miles down 45 at the new Love's. I'll buy fuel at that T/A on 635 but I'm not brave enough to stay there or the J.

Neither am I Leo, NO OVM, I don't have that vice. Only vices I have are over-eating, hunting, fishing, and an adult beverage or two when I am not working or in the field. Layoutshooter

Well, I stopped here for the free shower and now I'm just too darn lazy to drive anywhere else. A lot of vans here though. Not the place to be. Too much competition.

At the Dallas J, maybe it's different back there with the big trucks, but out in front, it's pretty quiet. Boring, even.

I was gonna head there Friday night after I delivered in Waco, but decided to go to sleep there at the J in Waco. Didn't last long. Early Saturday morning I picked up a load in Dallas and delivered it Monday morning in Nogales. Now I'm in Thousand Palms, headed to LaLaLand.

It's really hot here.
