I'm glad to see reports still coming in for TC. I've been gone for awhile in the hospital, then came home to a virus infected computer. Took a long time to get going again from scratch. Thanks guys.

GLC arrived into TC around 11pm last night and never left until almost 5am this morning. Took one load to Amerhart, brought back two empties, and worked Beacon. That sat in TC for hours. Maybe a crew change?? Or nap lol.
