Actually I am writing this from the Perkins restaurant inside the travel center, plaza, whatever. This is my first time staying here and so far it looks like a good choice. I was going to try and stay at the Pilot down the street, I have a free shower there, but the lot only holds ten or so trucks, so I had my choice of here or the TA that I usually stay at. I am not at the TA because Saturday morning I was informed that Falcon was no longer reimbursing for using IdleAire anywhere that there aren't anti-idling laws. I did manage to get reimbursed for the receipt I was calling about, but this changing of the rules without telling anyone has got to stop. My terminal manager was surprised about this as well and planned to check on it, and several other reimbursable items, on Monday. I wonder if my driver manager even is aware of this.
I am about a two hour drive from where I deliver tomorrow morning, and since I have no idea how long I will be stuck out there tomorrow, I wanted to start the day with a shower. Which is why I didn't try and get any closer tonight. I am sure I could have found some place to park at, but I doubt that it would have had facilities more advanced than possibly a toilet and sink, if that. So I chose the safe place to stop and will find out tomorrow if there are decent places closer.
Saturday we took our Motorola phones into the Verizon store to see why they had such horrible battery life. It turned out that they needed a software update, which took about an hour to do. As we left the store to kill the hour we both realized that we would have no idea when to come back since we both use our phones as clocks. So far the battery life has been better, but part of that was because the bluetooth was turned off. Now that I know how to turn the bluetooth on and off without opening the phone, I might be able to make the battery last a bit longer. We will just have to see how it goes this week.
