Climate Express

Last time I was in there an asked about that, they said that when T/A bought that up, that Dotties continued on a two or three year contract. After that it remains to be seen as to wether or not the restaurant will change. I hope not myself. Dotties is a killer place to eat.

 

Reloading sugar out of Gering for Goodlettsville, TN on Monday. Might pay a buddy for a ride home to Bowling Green and take a 34 at the house. Somehow, this location is even quicker than Torrington. Will have to make my weekly terminal detour tomorrow to get a set of brake shoes and maybe a tire on this trailer per Larry's instructions lol. Tire is worn like it was never balanced. Looks like the trailer got new shocks recently, so maybe that's what it was. Worn worse than the picture in some spots and worn wonky all the way around. Not sure what could cause wear that irregular. Parts of the tire at 8/32 and some spots are 1 or 2/32. Pretty drastic whatever it is

 

I drove by Oxford the other day. My truck key has an Alabama lanyard so I felt pretty smug lol

 

I am gonna be delivering Monday in Memphis. Gonna be in the neighborhood of I-55, Hwy 14, mallory an latham st at a feed place not far from a fed ex ground terminal. Is that an ok area to park overnight Sunday night? It looks like mainly an industrial area from what I could gather from the satellite views.

 

I ran to CO and back with it. It doesn't bother me to run with it, but if brake shoes are right at 1/4" and tire is right at the line of violation, I don't see much harm in adding the 20 miles to route down 47 to 44 and get it taken care of. With the blitz week coming up, and a 21.6% OOS rating, I don't want to take any chances lol. If this was a hot load going to Columbia or something, I wouldn't worry about it.

That Dallas reload isn't terrible. They're never quick with live loads, but usually always out before the 3 hour mark, so it's alright I guess. And they load them well so they can always scale out in my experience.

I haven't been to Sterling. I know the reviews I see online for all of them emphasize the importance of clean trailers. I'm thinking a lot of the negative reviews are from those that define clean as no raw chicken juice floating in the reefer troughs . Yes, this load is going to AWG. I don't know if Goodlettsville is as bad as the one in Southaven, but it's 4am, so hopefully out by noon either way

 

Oh ok, thx for the helpful tips. I just talked to the customer an they said that there is on street parking. Their gates are locked over the weekend. An yea it is specialty feeds. Gonna load rice somewhere after that going to Kansas city. Will probably need to find a washout 1st though. Nobody likes to load product after I've hauled meat an bone meal.

 

What is AWG?
