FedEx Freight

Sunny skies tonight leaving north salt lake , I’m a bit gypsy so I turned down the Rawlins bid for the cycle starting next week . I almost took a Wamsutter which is a 518 mile turn but I don’t like Denver enough that if my meet driver bails , they ask me to go thru so I’ll be on the wild board until summer . Cheers .

 

I like the Estes model , terminal to terminal . I was over the road for years , I don’t miss the places I read about on here like Walmart and Publix, the unpaid waiting , the fighting for a parking space 2 hours from the drop , sleeping on the street and starting the 14 hour clock at 6 am just to burn it all up on a single delivery and miss a reload . Truck load is very inefficient, too many people fighting for scraps. LTL is really where all the efficiency is at . I’d go regional also , if it were terminal to terminal or the same handful of good customers , easy in and out without much delay . Done at the house Friday evening I sleep better on the road than in my own bed.

 

Almost done with my 30 minute on the other end , at the Stinker, Sinclair, Wyoming . We call Sinclair ‘Rawlins ‘ , if you’ve never ducked off this exit , make it next time you are thru , the ladies cook the best fresh food 24/7 and the prices are great . Todays soup is broccoli cheddar , 5.99 for a bowl , Friday’s are clam chowder , famous for its 8.99 prime rib sandwich and 1/2 pound cheeseburger cooked to order with fresh fixings , tenders , sometimes the ladies make fresh fettuccine Alfredo even , the best store keepers in Wyoming in my opinion. .
