Millis OTR journal

If you're still stuck here tomorrow, which i doubt, give Solly's Bar & Grill a try. I'd come up and buy lunch but i aint getting stuck out in this cold crap unless making $$$

I had to go up to Jefferson Sunday to start our trucks, i doubt the block heater will do much good in this weather.

 

The Sawmill across the street from the Richfield terminal has good food and drinks too.

 

Sawmill a bit pricey. No one makes a burger like Solly's. The original Wisconsin Butter Burger, Culver's tries.

 

From what I hear and who knows if it’s true. But Heartland is going to be selling the Alvarado yard because they just bought a much bigger lot down the street. makes sense in a way. With CFI, Heartland and Millis using that current yard there is absolutely no parking at times.
Heartland also sold Olive Branch, along with a couple other terminals out west.

 

I always liked Olive Branch. Much better than staying at West Memphis in one of the truck stops. Alvarado, the brand new terminal?

 

I delivered to a place next to the Heartland yard that used to be around Dallas. I thought the area was looking familiar as I got close, and it was.
I took liked the Olive Branch terminal, it was way better than any of the truck stops around there.

 

Yep it’s the new terminal, but with all the use it is to small.

 

I was about to ask what y'all were going to do in Memphis but then I remembered that either CFI or Smith has a yard in West Memphis. That Olive Branch yard was kinda a pain to get to unless you were coming from Midwest Whse but I liked it for some reason.

 

I was most of the way there one afternoon when I had the cops had the road shut down and I was on my own trying to figure out how to get there. I was leading the parade down some small road that didn't look like a truck route while my Rand McNally GPS tried to reroute me through some residential neighborhoods or on some road that wasn't big enough for a truck to turn down. I got through somehow, but I was anticipating ending up on the accident types and costs message the next day

 

Picked up a load out of Molson in milwaukee. Scaled out at 79100. Was having issues with tandems. Decided to roll with it. This morning scaled it again since I just wasn’t comfortable with the suspension gauge. Lost 3500lbs to the melting snow and ice.
