Climate Express

Loaded 1 potato at a time by a 3 year old?

 

Took a silgan load down to Memphis. Reloading for St Peter now at this place off 78. Guard was rude. Bit my tongue cause it isn’t worth it

 

If you’re goin where I think you’re going off Tenbrook don’t follow your gps. There’s a 12’0 bridge. You have to go in off Telegraph.

 

That one was a short wait. Was only an hour an seven minutes. I've always wondered how you can haul loads like your getting an the ammo isn't considered hazardous. Yea light loads are nice an it was funny how ya said that.

 

Oh heck fire dude, I've had me one a those stressful days. Ya know the kind where ya just wish ya could bust somebody in the kisser just to feel better!! Lol lol

 

Yea i sailed right thru indy. We're staged at the truck stop up the hill from palmyra. Got a message about 19:30 from dispatch to not go into palmyra cuz their computers are down so they're not receiving loads tonight. Dispatch is supposed to let us know in the morning when to go deliver.

 

We would pickup 12, 13, 15 pallets at a time of ammo in Quincy IL when I did LTL. And it was always a battle with the bosses the next day. One manager would say it needed “Explosive 1.4 S” placard. “S” being a subcategory of hazard class 1.4. So we would do that. The next day we would get in trouble from some other supervisor for placarding a non hazmat load because it’s considered “limited quantity”. So then we wouldn’t placard it the following week and then get in trouble from the first manager because we didn’t placard a hazmat load. Long story short it was a complete #### show and I still don’t know who or what was right. But these are the ones we would put on when we did.

 

We're still sitting out by palmyra. Dispatch is checking to see if we can drop our loads at the truck stop. Then we can pull an empty out of hershey's even with the computers down i guess an go live load somewhere tomorrow i would imagine. Still sucks tho cuz we'll be looking at two an a half days lost with maybe some layover pay for it.
