    I spoke to my friend who is the yard driver at a candy warehouse in the Marietta/kennesaw area and said they are extremely slow. All slots inside are full, one day last week he said they had 1 outbound load, a busy day has been 8 lately.

    I got to my delivery. Lincoln said it was a drop, so I dropped it at the customer, but no empties. But you have to leave the compound to check a 2nd lot, and you can't get back in. Lincoln said wait for the trailer I brought in to be unloaded. Once empty, I was planned on a load out of Russellville going to Bedford, PA for Thursday evening. That'll put me over 10k for the month (with 4 days remaining)

    The fuel solution has something new. My 2nd fuel stop has 36 gallons for the reefer (tractor is a fill up)...when did they decide to start doing that?
     
    Friend and Lonesome Thank this.

    I hope so. Kinda hard to predict fuel usage on a reefer given the different manufacturers, the set point for the load, the amount of time sitting at a dock getting loaded, and outside air temp for the entire trip.

    I have put in for two fuel solutions today and I haven’t gotten anything about reefer so I’m thinking that had to be some kind of computer glitch
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.
