parked for the night at the Petro!

Hey guys! Not sure how long this blog post will be tonight, but I wanted to come on and at least get something posted. How is everyone doing? I'm parked out here at a Petro in North Carolina (i believe its north carolina, might still be in south carolina for a bit. I'm tired, and honestly I don't care. lol

I hope you like the picture I posted. Took it just now because I didn't have have any recent pictures on my phone. Oh well! So, the last 2 days have been fun. Picked up my starbucks load on wednesday, headed to Florida. Got that load delivered yesterday afternoon, did a Facebook live, then took off to head towards Jacksonville. Got within 20 minutes of my budweiser pickup, stopped at TA and grabbed some fuel and a footlong meatball sub and 32 oz drink, and then 2 miles further down was the rest area I parked at last night.

Thankfully tho, when I got to my beer pickup this morning, it was preloaded so I was pretty much in and out. The only issue I had was, shortly after getting there, my stomach was in knots. They have a driver lounge with bathrooms, I've never used them before. So I bobtailed over there and figured first time for everything. The only problem was, I get inside and there's a sticker on the bathroom door saying "no water, do not use." So I'm like "well crap, guess I better hurry my ass up and get out of here!"

I was worried that when I went to scale out tho, that if I'm not legal weight, that I'd have to wait like 2 hours to get in a door and get it readjusted. That's what happened last time I was there. Thankfully this time, everything scaled out just fine. 33,000 lbs on both my drives and tandems, and 11k on my steers, total weight, 78,000 lbs. Didn't have to adjust my tandems or anything so I was like "woohoo!" Thankfully I only had to go like 5 miles north before there was a Loves travel center, was able to hit the bathroom there, grab something to drink and head out.

So anyway, tonight's plan, once I get off the phone with a friend I've been chatting with for the past hour or so, I'm gonna go in and go into the Iron Skillet and get some food. I'm thinking it's a steak and eggs kinda night. Either that or a meatloaf night. Guess I'll decide when I get in there.


So, normally I'd type for longer but tonight I think I'm going to cut this short. I hope you guys all have a good night! Feel free to check out my facebook page tonight as I will probably be doing a Facebook live in like an hour or so.

Take care ya'll and talk to you next time!
