Wish mine would do that!
Good luck with that MR. SNOWPLOW .......Lol
Arrived at the Laredo Shipper, scheduled 2pm...moved up from 1pm.
Nope, freight still in Mexico,...may be 3-5 hours, don't know.
No Air Conditioning, can't idle my vehicle due to DPF. So, I head to Laredo Bolt's Driver's Lounge.
Never been there before, never needed nor wanted to be there honestly.
Bolt-Express is a Pet Friendly Carrier....Driver's are allowed their pets with them.
BUT, apparently the Driver's Lounges don't permit the Pets inside, per the sign on the inside of the door.
In my situation, with this heat, no air/no relief, it's a matter of survival and not suffering heat exhaustion for myself and mostly my sweet dog Maggie. She is a bother, a nuisance and cleaner/nicer than some people I have run across. Smile.

Thanks for your advice....appreciate it, but with her thick black coat and age, With this kinda heat I beg to differ.
We did fine. Just got Loaded.
That's a GREAT idea, thank you, if I get into a bind again!!!
Winter loads for me and Laredo at think, when I have Miss Maggie.
Thanx for all the info...have to try it.
They have alot of locations..
How much time do you get for $25?
Short time sailor. Long time $100! You like?
Best buy ...at some P/FJ locations 40 hours/ $ 50.....
Its like $ 2. an hour on less than 14 hours last time I was down there late last summer... but geez it sure felt good sleeping 11 hours straight during the daytime after driving all night....
Man that's a tough one. If you can afford to do it, go for it....before you get attach to the road.
Some of the old timers that left the biz and went back home are still experiencing the expediting separation anxiety syndrome.
Once in a while they have to ask their wives for the permission to spend a night in a van in the Wal-Mart parking lot down the road...Lol.
I sat right there with my dog in the lounge...F'em when it's that missreablay hot I'm bringing the dog in...ESPECIALLY in your situation w/ no ac....
and that right there is 1 reason why I won't have a pet with me on the road....I'd love to have a dog..I've considered it many a time....I don't even have one on the homestead for fear I'll try to bring it with me on the road....and besides that I need a medium to larger dog. my preference....SD winters are hard on small dogs...
