Climate Express

Great for the most part. I didn't realize how good they were all around until I worked for a few other carriers. Very easy and predictable company to drive for. Not many 3300 mile weeks, but not many 2000 mile weeks either. Just a steady 27-2900 doing easy dry van loads. New freightliners, decent trailers, simple dry van freight, simple paperwork/dispatching system, one of the friendliest staffs I've dealt with. They're not the best at much, but they're decent at everything, if that makes sense. I'd recommend them to most anyone wanting to do OTR dry van

 

So hey I wanted to ask you, how are they coming along with the construction down there in memphis? If you cross the river on Interstate 55 are the exits over there at the 55 interchange all closed completely or what?

 

Yea I gotta deliver in Memphis on the Island in the morning. Was wondering if I could come in 55 or not cuz my load shifted when I had to Jack the brakes for a 4 wheeler in the construction near home. So I was a wanting to get my fuel before I went into the customer but can't cuz now my drives are right at 34k an the load had settled an won't shift back now. So I'll have to just go in on 40 an down to the bottom an east outta my way a bit to fill up at Love's down there an then back track a bit. I'd wait till morning to get it but I wanna get empty first thing an head to my reload so I can be a scootin towards home as early as possible. So fueling in the morning won't work.

 

Up near woodhull Illinois.

 

Well I won't have to go out of my way for fuel like I thought. For some reason I was thinking there was a eastbound scale on 40 before you cross the river into Memphis but there's only a westbound scale. So I'll be able to stop at the Love's there at West Memphis and fill up.

 

Well even if the scale on 55 southbound before West Memphis is open it's not a big deal because I'm legal for now. I just won't be legal once I fill up.
