Receiver has NO Bathroom for Truckers!

Delivered to a receiver north of Chicago today and I asked if they had a restroom and she pointed to a room with the door in the receiving area where we check in and said that used to be a restroom but they converted it to an office.

I asked if there was anywhere we could use the restroom (I have my wife with me) and she said we all go to the front of the building to go but we don’t have anything for drivers. She said we could walk to the gas station on the corner (a ways away). So that’s what we had to do.

All drivers should if at all possible refuse to pickup or deliver at a shipper/receiver who doesn’t provide a restroom!!! And I think they should have to provide an ACTUAL restroom, NOT a porta potty!!

Need 10hr South of Chicago

I’m going to be needing a 10 hr after I get unloaded and get loaded for my next load. I’ll have limited hrs on my clock and I’m heading from Chicago to South Carolina.

One option I’m looking at that would maybe more likely have parking available is Petro in Gary IN. I’ve always tried to avoid Gary but not sure if I have many options this time.

Any suggestions?

I’m almost sure I’ve had drivers next to me at truck stops change my reefer from Continuous Mode to Cycle Sentry to lower the noise from my reefer.

That is absolutely WRONG to mess with anyone else’s load!!

With thousands of dollars of product on the line if I catch anyone messing with my reefer I WILL call the police and file a report with all the info o can get of who did it!!

DON’T mess with anyone else’s load!!!

It’s not that big of a fricking deal to have the small amount of noise of a reefer!!
