mowerman Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Wound up with a six day vacation that’s OK I’ll take it. I’m going to be doing yardwork most of the day. I was going to work on the Mack this morning, but got up too late tomorrow morning for sure. Lots of work to do…. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74165-my-friend-my-friend-we-out-here-doin-it-again/#findComment-551887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

navypoppop Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Hey Rubber Duck, How is Lounsberry these days? Haven't they become a Liberty Travel Center or something like that? I used to stop there twice a week on my NY run back in the 1970s when they had sit down diner. I haven't been to NY State in over 15 years or so. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74165-my-friend-my-friend-we-out-here-doin-it-again/#findComment-551895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Burger King it reminds me of a truckstop. I ate it in Fontana California about seven years ago. They had a sit down restaurant and a Burger King. I chose the sit down restaurant. It was the worst slop I have ever had and I was wishing I would’ve just gone to Burger King Times times changed truckstop food used to be the bomb Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74165-my-friend-my-friend-we-out-here-doin-it-again/#findComment-551901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Sorry fellas fell, I didn’t mean to turn it into a bitch fest only reason I brought it up is because both those truckstops used to be independently owned and I would eat at both of them all the time when I was single… bob 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74165-my-friend-my-friend-we-out-here-doin-it-again/#findComment-551905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rubber Duck 006 Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 This one actually serves decent food in their hot cabinet as well pizza,sandwiches etc. It's alot better than some I've stopped at over the years. I like it because it's close to the jobs jobsite and it's relatively quiet out here in the parking lot....also the employees seem to be really nice 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74165-my-friend-my-friend-we-out-here-doin-it-again/#findComment-551908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 As I mentioned, most of these truckstops have gone to fast food restaurants at least they’re consistent and you don’t have to worry about getting a dish of shit that you wouldn’t feed your animals Thank God I really don’t have to use truckstops anymore but it’s a real prize when you find one that serves good food clean showers, friendly service all a big plus 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74165-my-friend-my-friend-we-out-here-doin-it-again/#findComment-551916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I often haul out of a pit there. They're waiting for new screens to come in and we cleaned them out of the material I get there. Usually I'm close there.

Yeah, let’s face it. Nothing is like it used to be 16 weeks baby. I’ll be waving goodbye for the entire industry. Not going to look back. My checks are huge gonna miss the money but it’s not even worth it. The fun days are all over. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74165-my-friend-my-friend-we-out-here-doin-it-again/#findComment-551946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
