Holland | Atlanta Illinois Motel?

Well if the guys hadn't bitched about it being too long of a ride to Bloomington a couple years ago we wouldn't need this conversation. I hate to interrupt you two but I thought I would throw my ring in the hat and say I would rather stay at Super 8 every week rather than staying at the other ::shit:: hole once a year! I would also rather stay at the super 8 than many other motels such as Kansas City, Atlanta Georgia, Toledo and Cleveland. Last time I was at Super 8 they had just put in a new water filtration system and were redoing a huge breakfast area. I know it is not a great motel but at least they are trying to make it better! That other dump is the only motel that I have ever stayed at were I did not get undressed, slept on top of covers (with one eye open) and did not shower or brush my teeth! We have stayed at some other real dumps, the old Chatanooga comes to mind, but that Atlanta Illinois has always been the one I dislike the most! I just started my 8th year at Holland and the only place I have been bitten were I thought it was bed bugs has been Toledo, I have had a few times were I had a couple large bites at other motels that I thought were spider bites and at the old 131 motel in Grand Rapids I think I was bitten by a girl at the bar, but thats too long of a story for this post! Stay safe out there brothers!
 
I do not work for Holland or any of the YRC companies. Just had to be nosey. Sounds like you guys are put in some real "top quality" places. The place I work we use the same hotels that the big shots and owners stay at. So they are decent. plus we either bobtail or use a company car

Don't sound like you guys have too much to complain about.
Years ago, I had the pleasure of staying at the Empire Hotel in Birmingham.
I was awakened by a noise, and always keeping my gun in my handbag beside the bed, I reached for it and turned on the light.
I was surprised to see a 7 in cockroach with a switchblade trying to get a piece of cheese away from a rat.
My advise, stay out of bars or find a girl with no teeth.

Yes we stay in some dumps, but we also stay in some great places and some so-so places. Kansas City is a real dump but if you go down to Joplin it is Awsome and over in Springfield it is pretty medium. It is kind of like that all over the place, you just hope you get a mixture of a little of everything. They have mostly made improvements in the last few years, but every now and then we take a step backwards and a lot of steps sideways. I could send you to the worst five in a week and you would say OMG they could not pay me enough and then I could send you to the best five and you would say WOW you guys are treated like Kings!

We had it nice in Jax, air lines, CSX RR stayed the same place.
It was rare when I didn't have the same room, Mon, Wed, Fri.

I'm still looking forward to the story about being bitten in the bar, but, maybe not, your wife may be reading your posts on TB.

It's OK...that is the night I met my wife, we laugh about it at dinner parties now! It is amazing you can laugh at a lot of things after a few years of therapy! I imagine we will all look back and laugh at the Central States Pension mess some day....might take several tharapists!

Yep, it's a lot easier when the swelling goes down in your eye.
With some of our truckstop lawyers, we're going to have the pension fixed in no time.

There you go. I just delivered new mattresses to the Atlanta motel. Patel at the front desk said to just leave them by the side door.
 
Are those the new mattress/boxspring all in one combos by BRG-way Industries??
These are the new, Safe Sleep Model, that you assemble with the box up, so you don’t roll out of bed. They are also used in all CRST-Coop 60 inch sleepers. They have been recommended by SJ Consulting as Satish concluded truck drivers need 10 hours rest per day.
