when i drove for an owner out in ind he was building a garage/sleeping area for his drivers you could get an oil change and shower and had a bed and he was thinking of expanding to other cargo van drivers who werent on with him

wasnt really odd or strange but on 2 different times we were in chicago and to pick up 2 envelopes take them to the irs building in detroit and then take some back again then was at pfizer in memphis and was talking to a h/w team and told me they had to take 2 polar bears from airport to a zoo

best bet is to tell them to go to houston we even dh all the way up from brownsville hope it works
