Yeah, I'm a newbie but have been out 3 weeks now - sat 3 days in Arden, NC and it got old in a hurry. Sat in a WalMart lot and the good news - could walk to McD's and hustle the internet. Found a nearby hotel and a wonderful person at the desk allowed me to watch TV in their lobby (some won't). While sitting also recalled a nearby stream coming out of the hills, decided it was worth my sanity to burn a little gas to swim (with a bottle of shampoo). Dang, being stuck at the J for 4 in Birmingham ..... rough ! Me thinks all empathize.

There is no way in hell that I would sit at a truckstop for 4 days, if'n I was 4 hours from the house.

As a recognized regional center serving a population of approximately 40,000, Grand Rapids enjoys a reputation as one of the top cities in per capita retail sales in the state of Minnesota.
Just gotta ask...only 175 miles, less then 3 hours and in many cases too far out to be eligible for Minniapolis loads..
By a dispatchers watch you are 6.5 hours out of touch...for 20 bucks you could be back in the game....why waste time up there...?
