Millis OTR journal

Backing is the one thing I still struggle with on a regular basis. After being on my own for 5 months I can eventually get there, but it's not easy or pretty some days. Especially with the truck surging and bucking on the angled turns when the truck finally moves.
I wish I'd had more practice backing before being turned lose to figure the rest out on my own, but I imagine I'll survive the rest of my time driving.

 

Only time I went to Bozick, way back in October, it wasn't that location. I forget the address but I think it is in the driver directions or something. Only one dock, place at the end of a cul-de-sac, pull into their parking lot, drive thru and back out into the road setting up an easy sight side into the dock. On trade zone court. But looking at Google it now says it is something else. I still have the directions written down...who knows.

 

I had no idea we had a brewery operation in Phillipsburg, New Jersey at Mark Anthony. The facilities are so new that there’s no google earthing the location, made it a bit stressful but no problems, except New Jersians in their cars.

 

Yeah we did bozick then went to that place you mention. Hammond Distributors on BOL. At least that is what’s it’s called now, google lists it as Bucks Distribution. It was a split Miller load.

 

Yeah I seem to do better when there's 10 things in my way that if I hit any of them it would surely get me fired.

 

Yeah that's a brand spanking new place. It's where I took my empty and dropped it last week. So finally we are gonna have some DnH Mark Anthony loads even if it does mean going to Jersey.

 

Would have rather done that then pick up at MSI in Jersey, place is just a mess.

 

Just the name New Jersey makes my blood pressure rise lol. Gotta be on your toes.

 

Yeah, I'm off to there Monday and my hours should be tight again. Can anyone recommend any place to park for the night by Fair Lawn?

 

Hopefully we get some loads out to Glendale AZ to their other new brewing facility.
