Not been a good few weeks here. Shared the parking lot of the Olive Branch J with quite a few other vans last few nights. Think it's time, as Snagglepuss would say, and "Exit, Stage Left".

Bummer here too on the west coast, last 4 weeks has been sluggish. Everyone hang on! Lol.....
Freight slow down warnings. Driver shortage warning. 
Don't think it would be a favorite any more. Maintenance is lacking, help is sketchy and outwardly angry. Combination van meeting place and homeless camp, though not as bad as Tulsa. If I were rating PFJ's I would probably give it a 4.

However, Huntsville AL will become a regular stop on the Expediting Train soon. Between the new plant and 2 major suppliers moving in they anticipate 6000 jobs to need filling later this year.

Exit stage left will put you at the J in West Memphis. Out of the frying pan...
Hmmm.....in about 6 years, this guy thinks......
"Does this count as driverless cars “taking away” jobs? Yep. By itself it’s not a huge threat to trucking jobs, but it will be pretty soon. There are about 2 million long-haul truckers in the US, and I’ll bet that half of them will be out of work by 2025."

I said it will become a regular stop, not a good place for freight. It will be like Evansville which I consider drop, turn & burn.
