Let's hope so Errol!

This day has been a bit of a pain. But I finally have my first load planned. I'll be grabbing a trailer from the yard early in the morning and heading to Urbana and Bolingbrook IL tomorrow! Not too excited about going to Chicago first thing but what can ya do?

For tonight we are hanging out in the truck at the terminal watching tv and mentally preparing for tomorrow!

New thread coming soon...

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.
