June 8, 2008. Georgia. What, AGAIN?

Stopped in Jackson, GA for the night last night. Sixteen BILLION degrees outside. Can only breathe if you have gills. Frelling truck stop does not have a driver's lounge. I think Trainer walked over to the Love's next door. If he's not back soon, I'll assume that's where he's gone and also presume they have a lounge.

Nope, he went elsewhere. I checked out the Love's myself. Day-um! not only no driver's lounge, no damn A/C either. WTF? beat feet back to the truck.

Another day of driving for me. 350 miles or so. Did pretty well until the exit for this stop. Could NOT get the damn truck in gear at the intersection. Not sure why (again).

Trip largely uneventful, of course. Did have one driver talk to me in Dalton as we were fueling. He was asking if we'd come down from the north (we had). He was washing something... gross, off the front of this truck and windshield. Seems he'd come through Tennessee shortly after we had... and hit a huge cloud of locusts. Poor slob didn't think to deep fry 'em.

Anticipate delivery of this load by 10:00. Don't have a new load lined up yet.
