Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

Yay, met Raincatcher today! Nice lady!

 

SWEET!! I can't wait to meet some folks from here. Klingon has already met someone (see signature). My turn next

 

Central convention here today at americold in Rochelle, il! 3 of us in doors and one waiting across from us.

 

LOL - are any of them on TTR?

 

Thats the way it was for me yesterday but in Lawton, MI. Must have been 6 transam trks there waiting to be loaded. Mine was D&H but getting royally screwed with it. 4 days to do 671 miles. Can it be done????



Oh wait, already at my final. Guess it CAN BE done. *snickers* Hoping these people will unload me tomorrow but will have to wait and see.

Suppose to get 5+ inches of snow tonight. Oh boy.

 

It was great to be able to meet you! Always nice to put a face with a name. Hope you aren't one of the frozen ones from being out in the backing yard all day. Brrrrrr!

 

Spent the day in the yard, backing, exhausted !
Off tomorrow,YAY !
Also Afsmsgt is in our class too, nice guy! Hes very knowledgeable<sp, and helpful.
So far everyone here at Central is very friendly and helpful!!

 

You have me beat! My next load is 249 miles and delivers Mon am 0400

 

Heres a question for all with experience....I am thinking of leasing after a yr (all that I have talked to says for us being a team it would be the most lucrative way to go) so I am wondering what opinions ya'll have.
Also o/o pay is going to go up .03 in a couple months! They're bringing back ontime bonuses too!

Thanks!

 

Your right it would be good to wait a yr just so you can practice running your truck like an l/o and get some time under your belt as well as put some money away. As a team you would probably do much better as a l/o then solo but the nice thing about solo l/o is you have the ability to become a trainer and pretty much pocket all the miles. So that is just my humble opinion.
