The morning after.....

After you attend a big wild party (and have a sleep over) you wake up to drag yourself home to see the haphazardly parked cars. Early morning at a truck stop is just like that!

The night before people pull in after long days on the road and  pretty much park wherever they can. People are parked in no parking zones (like we were last night) taking a chance at getting kicked out. Trucks are blocking other trucks. Then there are those who are lucky enough to have stopped before the rush and get a spot that's actually between the lines!

So the next time you wake up at a truck stop.....just pretend everyone was at a big party (including you) and you had such a good time along with a few too many that you just can't remember it!

I Still Don't Get It

We just passed through a weigh station in the state of New Jersey. We pulled in and there were two state policemen waving the trucks through and over the scales. Did they weigh the truck? I mean...did it actually do something? Was there actually a reason we pulled off the highway in the middle of rush hour traffic, risking accidents on the freeway? Or was it for nothing? How much do these guys get paid anyway? And what about all the trucks that didn't stop? How come they didn't have to stop?.....do they know something I don't?
