    August locations.... Here come the dog days

    Good news: met ScottInBama. Sounds like a good guy; also met his lovely wife & cute dog. Bad news. He and I are two of 18 vans at just this truckstop. Can't nap in van, either, 'cos it's 99*. Lord help us....

    Same here! Did a Wixom, MI to Eagle Pass run. No bars on phone in the Pass, so Laredo it is.

    Truckstops

    Whatever ain't a Pilot. They're just overgrown Kwik-E-Marts. I think Petros are among the best, followed by TAs and Js, most of which are at least decent. Independents can be good too; Shoemaker's at exit 395 on 80 in Nebraska is a pretty decent place :)

    OMG I shoulda slept in the van!

    Copy that, driver :) . Some places are acceptable even if they're dives. I stayed at a motel on the moon (oops, eastern Oregon) a couple weeks back after pounding out 2360 miles in 54 hours. Sure the place was dusty, old, full of transients and conjugal visitors to the nearby prison, and yes I...

    OMG I shoulda slept in the van!

    At midnight after 725 miles, I didn't think of that. That's why businesses are supposed to meet standards. Do you thoroughly research every restaurant you eat at, or do you just sit & eat if the place looks decent, trusting the State of So-and-so to have approved the place? Plus, it was...

    OMG I shoulda slept in the van!

    Once in a while we expediters (especially us lowly vanners) find ourselves at a motel front desk, exchanging credit card for room card. This happens when the truck falls ill, is full of freight or simply to give ourselves the luxury of being able to stretch out a little bit. This thread is for...

    Prayers sent for little Murray. Donut might be a good idea, just be careful not to let him eat past the time your surgeon indicated.... Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

    Now I see this :mad: Drove the Pacific Coast Highway today; wow! Set foot in Pacific for the first time, 59 years after my parents and siblings did (before I was born). Saw the intersection where James Dean died. Now at J at exit 205 on the 5 in Lebec. Saw a Fiat Ducato (Ram Promaster); driver...
