Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Since when have we started hauling Amazon? My next load delivers to Amazon south of Indy on Monday (was gonna be Sunday, but this incident screwed that up)

 

I think his part of the family tree had some pruning done to it.

 

Well, the repair got done to the trailer. He managed to get me done with enough time left on my 14 to make it to Waddy for the night. Delivered my Hershey's this afternoon and grabbed an empty, then had to hit the Beacon for a washout. That warehouse in Edwardsville is almost as good at crushing pallets into the floor as a Walmart DC. Got over to the warehouse to pick up my Amazon load. Got dropped and hooked and scaled out nice and legal. The load info said in one section, dry load. But in the comments and on the B/L it said keep above 40°, and temp controlled load. So, since it was gonna be down in the upper 20's going across IL and IN, I set the reefer at 50° on cycle, waited a few minutes for the system to talk to the reefer or vice-versa...sent in the load call, and rolled out...and then got a load call failed message. Since it said dry load, and the reefer was running, it got confused...so OP's had to set it up as a temp controlled load so it would work...but I wasn't waiting around. Ended up just stopping in Brazil for the night and did my load call again. I will roll the other 70 miles in the morning...but on a positive note, nothing got damaged on my truck or trailer today, so that's one day in a row.

 

Amazon in Greenwood, IN gets 2 thumbs up. 45 min from checkin at inbound gate, unloaded and out the exit gate. 0 complaints. Now, they have me picking up at the Interstate warehouse in Franklin IN going to Denver... supposed to be preloaded, but, the only empty they had to preload had a problem, so I am live loading. It was suppose to deliver tomorrow, but it's 1100 miles, and I already started my day, so looks more like a Weds delivery at King Soopers, and it's not bananas, so who knows what kind of unload time I'll have there.

 

When unloading bananas there, they're quick. But I saw a digital copy of my b/l on the load...50 regular pallets, 4 chep pallets, so it looks like I might have a boat load of sorting they'll have to do.
