Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Do you know anything about

2619 Schoeneck Rd
Macungie, PA 18062
United States

it looks like a yard, but wondering is it more? Such as maintenance and stuff. Can Shaffer use Crete facilities and vise versa? I’m 100 miles away from the PA terminal but that yard is kind of close, so I was just seeing if you knew if we could park the truck at that yard along with my personal vehicle. Recruiter thought I was talking about the terminal even though I mentioned Macungie lol.

 

Just imagine how long it takes him to list his previous jobs in the last ten years. Lol

 

You ain’t gonna be concerned about the availability of dental floss? To each his own, but proper daily oral hygiene is the cornerstone of healthy gums and fresh breath.

 

It’s a former terminal and now a shared drop lot. There’s a handful of spots next to the fence for Crete/Shaffer. I don’t know about personal vehicles but would be worth checking into.

 

Yes it's still available for the Creffer groups to use ...tcalled a load there last week..saw some personal vehicles that were parked beside Crete bobtails

 

So what’s the actual “proper” way to run recaps? I’ve always been a 70 and reset guy. Is it 9.5 hrs of driving/on duty time each day or how does it work exactly?

 

The main factor running recaps is the load you have on. If the load says you can drive 9-9.5 hours per day, then you’ll never run out of your 70. If it’s a reefer load with some awful delivery time, run balls to the wall then reset. Me personally, I love burning through my 70 in 6-6.5 days then reset. I left the house after a week off, ran 4350 miles from 11am Thursday to 11am this Thursday, got to my delivery with 58 minutes left on the clock and reset.

 

If you want to run on recaps, your average “duty” day (all on duty time) must be 8.75 hrs a day.

I tried my best to NEVER do a reset when I was OTR. I was good at avoiding them too. But, I only worked 3 weeks and then went home for a week.
