Gibsonia, Pennsylvania: Walmart

Yes, I am still here, one episode of Private Practice and three episodes of Life on Mars later. I am about a four hour drive to home from here, and my fourteen hour clock is up at seven-thirty tonight. So unless I leave at three-thirty I will definitely not be home tonight. Of course I still don't have a load so that is fairly definite anyway.

In a little while I will be moving to a truck stop in Youngstown, Ohio. Closer to home, but still will be stuck waiting for a load. At least I will be able to get that far, since I have about an hour drive to any truck stop at this point. The area around Pittsburgh has very few places for a driver to stay at, and a Walmart parking lot doesn't count.

I just realized something, if I stayed here till eight tonight I will have had an ten hour break, with little to no sleep, but a legal break none the less. Not that I will stay that long, I am heading to a truck stop as soon as they let me go.
