Haha!!! I been to long Beach one time and I got lost badly that time. I was delivering a Cargill load to them. Junky looking warehouse that was right under an overpass so it was hard to see as you drove on the road. Maybe this was the same place that you're talking about?

Hmmm if I remember correctly it was a little mom and pop grocery store, and it was across from a Target. I remember when I needed to get there, they had me turning right on a street where there was an elementary school on the corner, and I would have taken out a few cars and trees in the process. I went through downtown for a bit and finally was able to turn around after a few miles. THEN when I finally got to where my gps routed me, it was the wrong place! I ended up going to a garbage facility, and had to turn around there. Fun fun fun! And this was like my second week out on my own, my dispatch gave me some local runs until he could get me a higher mileage load. I definitely had new respect for local drivers after that.

Well dang if I would have known I was in billings a whole Sunday bored off my tail. Yall coulda cooked a girl some Welcome food:) Cause Jens Chinese buffet was lacking!

And I would have been very glad to! Unfortunately, I was running furniture up from L.A. to Tacoma when you were there. I got back to Billings yesterday hauling hardware and am taking a 34H here before running a load of flour from Great Falls to Las Vegas.

I did see a WEL truck in Washington on the way here, but on the door it said it was from Kent, Washington, so I figured it wasn't you.

Wish you could have had a chance to see some stuff around the area while you were here!
