Climate Express

I think it's PFG. It's about 3 miles off of 35 and you cross rail road tracks. Building is shaped like an L and you check in on the corner of the 'L'. One window you for receiving and then there's a separate lumper window as well.

I delivered there my first or second week I think. Was a pretty quick in and out for food service and was one of the odd balls that had normal time of day deliveries lol.

 

There's a Wal-mart DC, I believe a HEB right next to it, and another Mclane location somewhere else in Temple. I seen it on the blow up map somewhere in the area. I think there is also a PFG east of the Walmart Dc by a couple exits.

 

Good chance of maybe going to Robinson for a drop an hook. If not, then back to St. Louis area.

 

This McLane in Concord is pretty solid. Arrived at 20:00 for a 04:00 appointment. Got checked in at 23:00 and out at 02:30.

Had a weird time while leaving lol. I was half asleep and thought I accidentally locked the truck door or the door handle quit working again. Tried both doors, climbed up to see if it was locked or the door quit working, and was about to panic thinking I magically found a way to lock myself out of a Volvo. I see some random guy in a safety vest walk out of the bunk and it still took me a few seconds to realize this was another Climate truck 2 doors down and not a dock worker in mine. Sorry for the false alarm to whomever probably thought I was trying to break into yours.

Headed to Shelby, NC for a paper towel load going to ALDI in O'Fallon. It delivers Sunday at 02:00 so maybe there's a chance I'll be getting a reload Sunday and not have to wait til Tuesday because of labor day. If I remembered Labor Day existed, I would've just taken my home time this weekend.

 

I'll tell y'all a secret Justin told me when I was there, concerning what your next pre-plan is. Just send in a blank empty call, and if there is a pre-plan on you, the system will send it to you. Then when you really do get MT, just send in your normal empty call. I did it always, and it was great not wandering what was next. If you don't have a pre-plan, you'll get the normal, no load assigned. On a different note, it's been tough being retired, what with trout fishing and camping, but I guess I'll get used to it. Glad to hear you guys are keeping the country moving without me. So y'all take care, and come see me when you're traveling through the wild and wonderful. Oh yeah, send the blank MT call after 5pm. Luv y'all,, as always be safe.

 

If anyone gets a Clearwater Paper load out of Shelby, NC, they're stricter about appointment times now than the less time I've been here. No parking onsite before or after pickup. There's an Ingles on Highway 74 about 1.5 miles before the road to shipper that doesn't mind truck parking. I spent a few hours there.

Got a message from Travis earlier to take a 34 after delivery Sunday, so I guess no reload. Better than dealing with recaps for the next few weeks, I guess.

 

Glad to see your doing well. I is glad retirement is a treating you oh so roughly! Lol Lol. Catch a fish for me brother.

 

Thanks bro.
