Millis OTR journal

Any of you New York guys ever do a live load at Finch Paper? I always thought it was a drop and hook until I showed up yesterday. They had us drive down the road to their mill and back in there, lots of space but had to drive along a cliff, pull down a set of rr tracks and offset into an old rr dock.

 

Yes I normally only have had live loads there. Had a drop and hook once and was surprised when it happened. That's a real fun drive in and out to get to the lower loading docks isn't it? Winter makes it even better.

 

I get loads from Avon to Lithia Springs quite often. I like MYWE for it’s Maintance Dept. best place for an A Service.

 

What is an A Service? I know they came to be with the newest trucks but not sure what has to be serviced/checked more frequently.

 

Fluids, lube, grease the 5th wheel, check it out.

 

You ever deliver to Japs-Olson from Finch? If so do we deliver to the docks from the road or do we get those spacious docks out back?

 

No do not think I've ever been there. I just street viewed it to see if it looked familiar and saw this sign. Place in Minneapolis?

Hope it helps

 

Sitting here watching it in Trenton, I am thrilled I never did the Millis 500. Such a waste of time at least put a trailer on the back of those trucks.

 

West Allis lot was all but empty today. Maybe a dozen trailers there. That place is usually packed full from my experience.
