Millis OTR journal

Nope, I'm in SC tonight

 

Wassup everyone. Tonight I'm in Lexington SC. After my beer was unloaded yesterday, I was deadheaded over to Ellwood City PA. Tell you what, whoever gave me this load did a fantastic job with my available time. Opie's on vacation, I have no idea who dispatched me. But, they very clearly looked at my 70. I'm running on recaps and this load couldn't possibly have suited me any more perfectly. It's going to the Lowe's DC in Valdosta GA, and delivers any time tomorrow. Once I deliver, I'll only have 3 hours left. Just enough time to grab another load and get parked. The route I had to take is definitely not one of my favorites, but it's actually been really smooth so far. I am extremely light right now. My load is only about 8k pounds, so the mountains have been a pleasure. I love it when that happens. If this had been a heavy load, like beer or paper, I'd be in a very different position in regards to time. I'm definitely loving this load. So thank you very much, whoever gave it to me. I owe you a shot This particular truck stop is a busy one, but somehow manages to be a quiet place to sleep. I love this place. I'm thrilled that it worked out so well to land here for the night. As a side note to any current Millis driver, make sure you are remembering your tails. I stopped earlier for a pee break, and there were three or four Millis trucks parked in the lot. Another Millis truck pulled in to scale, then parked. I didn't recognize the driver. But, he walked to the back of every single one of our trailers. I can only assume that he was checking tails. That's a new one on me. So, make sure your tails are out if your trailer has them. If he wasn't looking for that, then that just makes him creepy as hell. Whatever. I'm always conscious of my tails, so no skin off my nose. Apparently dude wasn't in a hurry. I'm looking forward to my drop tomorrow, because that place is always such a silky smooth experience. I have yet to have a bad stop there, unless they don't have any empties. But that isn't their fault, so no biggie if they don't. I hope y'all have a fantastic evening. I need to sign off. Time to break out my laptop and get some personal work taken care of. Be safe out there in Truckerland. Keep the rubber down, and check your pins. Peace guys.

 

I love that terminal

 

I'll close mine before I park if it's a tight spot, but that's it. I agree with you though. I ain't got time for snitches. Get a life.

 

so very true
