    I did a drop an hook there Friday, and the security guard handed me a Purina cell phone case on my way out. I just switched jobs and my other case disapeared. I was at walmart a couple of days before but they wanted $13 for one, too much I thought.
    That Friday, I saw lightning strike an overpass just ahead of me, blew a small hole in the pavement. Got the case,plus won over $100 in a Indian Casino. First time I ever left with more money.

    Nestle Purina is one of the few shippers that I know of that always provides something to truckers during Driver Appreciation Week. I have a small screwdriver set out in the truck that I got from them at Clinton Ia a few years ago. They are also a very decent shipper/recriver to work with, always getting you in and out in reasonable times.

    OK Tucker, where can I meet up with you so you can touch me and maybe some of that luck will rub off from and on to me?

    I picked up at this place once. It took 33 hours to get into the dock. But I racked up a lot of detention.

    But why does everyone who work's at Nestle act and treat the place like it's a military installation?

    because they make foodstuff even pet food will get you in a heap of trouble. when you make any kind of food you have to be very very careful. they have always been good to me though

    we deal with Nestle Purina in denver, never had a bad exp. with them. they have container of dog treats right outside the drivers window, the one day i was reaching for one to take home to my dog and the guy handed me two fresh bags of pupperoni's for her. security is always great, hostlers, etc., all we do are drop/hooks but it's still a good exp.

    Nestle Purina in Flagstaff AZ. Overloaded 2 out of 3 times. Not a good track record.
