Sweet Pea Backing into a parking space at truck stop

Back to Laredo
We dead headed from the terminal at Taylor Michigan 198 miles to South Bend, Indiana for a relay headed to Topton, Pennsylvania 650 mile. There they unloaded and reloaded for a trip to Laredo, Texas 1886 miles. This was all one trip with load with batteries. They are 41,000 lb and require Hazmat placards. We are going to finish the week with 3300 miles, plus hazmat, northeast, and a $35.00 extra stop pay. We also go within 10 miles of home so we get one night in our own bed. I have been letting Sweet Pea team when we are in traffic jams so I go to the sleeper and log sleeper time for the delays. He also backs into the parking spots in the truck stops. I don’t let him drive any other time because he has to use the throttle brake but that works okay when going slow.
