Tomorrow's a pretty laid back day with 11 stops

And I get upset when I have to stop at another terminal or two on my way back home.

I actually enjoy the lift gate run. Gas stations are relatively easy. Some are a pain to get into (like the former QT locations) but the new builds our company actually does a great job designing it so trucks can get in safely without damaging anything. They give us an electric jack to use, I can park anywhere I want though u try to stay out of the way. I can fit both pallets on the liftgate at once so I'm out of each stop within 10 minutes or so and made $31.97. I ran this load about 3 weeks ago. Clocked in 330, out the gate at 4. Had 9 stops off by 8am, called dispatch to find me a couple more stops to do because my Sysco appointment that's only 3 miles from our yard had an 11am appt time.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
