Took a load to California this week. My goal was to stay close to home, but a broker convinced me to go. Can't say no to rates that are profitable even if you go to Califonia and deadhead back home to Arkansas.
Anyhow, after getting my load delivered, I bounced back to the truckstop in Lodi to take the rest of the day off and browse the load board for my next adventure.
Won't get into the booking process, because I already covered that in another thread.
So, started on my journey back to Northwest Arkansas. This morning, I woke up and continued my journey toward home. I decided to stop in Moriarity, NM to fuel up, take a shower, and eat. Sun was coming up after my first two hundred miles of driving, so it was a good time to park for a bit. After fueling, I clicked on the T/A app and grabbed me a shower. I was first in line for the next shower, estimated wait time of 9 minutes.
15 minutes later, I decided to walk inside the truck stop.
30 more minutes, and I bit a manager's head off. 45 minutes waiting on a shower at that point, with nobody in front of me the entire time. I had been staring at dirty empty showers. Manager tells me they are short handed, apologizes, and goes to the store and summons a cashier to come clean a shower for me. She was pissed, I didn't care. Got my shower, walked toward the restaurant, and it was closed. Typical, can't find employees for anything these days when you have mailbox money still showing up.
Ok, I'll just get a breakfast sandwich from Burger King.
Sorry, we are out of eggs. You can order pancakes, or we have hashbrowns.
Really? Give me the Croissant, don't worry about the egg.
We don't have one without egg.
Give me the one that said sausage, egg, and cheese, but don't worry about the egg.
They all come with egg.
but you don't have egg, so just give it to me without the egg.
we don't have one without egg
give me that damn sandwich, and don't put egg on it!
Oh, I guess we can do that. Didn't think about that.
I could have just cooked something in the truck faster than dealing with these people.
