Millis OTR journal

No I was there earlier. Go to the side street that says Challenge Drive and you check in there. Walk passed where we used to go in and around the corner of the building.

 

I meant at Heartland. I know how to check in at Midwest. The door at the top of the ramp here at the yard says "Construction Entrance Only"

 

Ok sorry. Go to the gate across from the shop building. I'm guessing you are in here by now. I thought it was odd that you would not know the door at Midwest. Feeling kinda stupid now.

 

I felt really stupid the first time I got to a Heartland terminal. I was running out of drive time for the day and ended up at the gate that matched up with their mailing address before realizing that this was another address that didn't tell me where I needed to go. I was so relieved when I pulled around the corner, found the right gate and it opened before I could get out to use the keypad.

 

I believe the address for Columbus and Atlanta are both gates that are closed. First time I went to Atlanta I was in a hurry because my clock was low so did not satellite view the area first like I usually do.

As I got to that light where you turn left if coming from 285 I realized the gate was not where I was pointed. Luckily a UPS driver let me get into the correct lane so I could turn.

 

Don't feel bad. Now I feel kinda stupid because I was trying to get into this building over here with the cross docks instead of the one over across from me.

 

Yeah I come here for parking/shower/truck wash all of the time now when I have a Memphis run so knew the lay of the land. First time is always the worst time.

 

Yeah I didn't realize just how close this terminal was to the places on Raines Road. Like most of y'all, I'm not too keen on staying overnight in West Memphis so I have usually been parking somewhere around Blytheville the night before. I'll start coming here instead.

 

Yes truck stop in and around the Memphis area are not the best places to park at for sure...

 

Random question but have any of you guys ever seen somebody with a W900 or Pete 379/389 put a trailer in one of those docks in Rochester?

I haven't. But I bet that's some work.
