". . . but I have MILES TO GO before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep." Robert Frost
business as usual
arrived at Chattanooga to be told the freight wasn't scheduled for 2 more days and they wouldn't let me drop the trailer! Spent more than an hour getting our company and theirs on the same page. Dropped the trailer and got oone headed to a grocery distribution center east of Atlanta tomorrow morning. Where I'll be for Christmas is a mystery! Gotta love the weather here though, 55 degrees!
Because I'm due to drop this trailer at 8am in the morning east of town, there's no way I can wait until morning and have to fight my way thru south bound traffic (our company terminal is in Marietta, 10 miles north of the Atlanta beltway). So I'll go to that area this afternoon after stocking up on a dinner sandwich and some soda at a northside truckstop. Public parking is a real problem in the truck. As I've learned in the past, shopping centers are a BAD place to park with any expectation of being left alone. Truck stops, like here in Atlanta, often aren't in a convenient place. Roadside parking is always iffy - I hate reading of accidents when car drivers go to sleep, drift onto the shoulder, and strike the back end of a truck. I've never parked along a roadway. But today there is a rest area east of town about 10 miles from the warehouse (many warehouses have extra space and allow early trucks to use them for overnight sleeping, but just as many, notably Walmart, Publix, and other large distribution centers, do not). So I'll make my truckstop rest break this afternoon then go to the rest area to camp for the night - crossing my fingers that I'm still within TV reception of Atlanta!
