    Bananas in the hood watch out for those potholes because I've suffered a damaged trailer brake chamber due to one of those unavoidable crater holes there... someone sells margaritas or some tropical alcoholic drink to go spot tropical yellow green colors on storefront 3 blocks from the lot on that main strip u take to get in n out didn't know you can openly drink in tx guess atf gives umbrella consent open carry, open get sh#tfaced in public

    Gonna do a two-fer tomorrow.. I deliver my current load at the Cheyenne Wally early tomorrow, then go to the Cheyenne yard and pick up a load to Corrine UT that delivers by midnite tomorrow. I was glad to see that I wasn't gonna have to show my arse about not helping on the Walmart dedicated fleet.

    Yep it was bananas and it about to be 1000 banana pickup when I get to the Kroger since I didn't put any load locks on it.

    Also that road is under construction so only 1 lane and people park on the street. Had to run over some cones in order to squeeze by thr parked vehicles to get to the surface of the moon.

    This wil be my 4th time at this Kroger but the first time with an am delivery. Will arrive around 1am and hoping for a parking spot onsite. Reviews say the staging area has recently changed and they have onsite security checking to make sure people are delivering and not just parking, so we shall see.

    Was sent a 400 mile preplan to do after this. Drop n hook both ends. Picking up a preload from Butterball in AR, headed to a US Cold Storage in the Chicago area.

    The sound any reefer driver just loves to hear. The sound of their reefer, which is on continuous, shutting off.

    Unit say High Suction Pressure.

    Thankfully this just bananas and not meat or something that needs to be frozen.

    No placards, just the syrup itself can't be disposed of in a normal landfill for some reason. Fortunately enough of the stuff leaked out that the remaining gallon or so could be just tossed in a normal dumpster.

    Coke syrup is very corrosive. Seen the videos where regular coke can melt meat and is even used to remove blood stains. Even found some material data sheets for coke syrup products and what to do in case of spills lol.

    Onto my trailer issue. They had me go to a carrier repair facility in Memphis. On a positive note it's right next to where I have to deliver. Here's hopping the overnight tech can resolve the issue before morning traffic.

    Edit - no fix. My drive gear went out on the motor and they don't have a replacement. I'm to just go over and see if Kroger will accept the load so I can come back and drop the empty trailer in the morning.

    Me thinks either Shaffer or the reefer company just bought a load of bananas(or the warranty might cover product damage if it's new enough to be under warranty)
