Climate Express

I just parked for the night down in Checotah. It is raining cats and dogs here. Windy as hell too. Moberly refused a pallet of taters. Poor quality according to them. They looked fine to me. They are the only Walmart to refuse loads or pallets for that reason. I've had refusals at Pageland, but that was because the wrong ones got sent to them. Moberly does that to me periodically lol. I got a little behind waiting on Rich to figure out what to do with that pallet. The same thing happend to another driver. We both had to drop at PFS and grab an empty to reload.

I forgot to mention, if yall are coming from Monte Vista, right before you cross into Kansas on US 24, you'll need to take US 385 N to Burlington. They're gonna have 24 down for a while by Sharon Springs. It may have been mentioned already but my post will be a refresher lol

 

Ha!!! Those folks used to make you earn that honetime for real! They wanted me to do the survey, I would have done it and used those words per Mr. Potato Head. Lol. I couldn't access it for some reason. 4.5 hours may set a new record lol

 

We've been killing those plastic container loads for real. I swear I've hauled at least a ½ dozen loads out of Chester so far this year. I may be exaggerating lol. They may have you drop at Craftsmen, or do you like they did me a couple of weeks back. I delivered then got a reload to deliver straight through, and then came by the yard. I've got a load of rubber from Orange. I made it just in time to load today. That Costco held me up a bit. Load info said deliver at 8 am. When I got that sticker, it said my appt was 1030. They let you check in at 0430, but I don't know how beneficial that really is. I still had to wait til actual appt time. It was about 1 when I finally left. Reloaded, and KTN in Orange was super busy. Got to Batesville, MS so about 5 hrs or so to Mt. Vernon from here. I may smell your diesel coming up 57 lol

 

69 doesn't bother me like it does most other drivers, even though that highway will beat you ½ to death lol, but I am with you on that 67. That is a peaceful route. I like some of those truck stops just north of Searcy, AR. Both make for peaceful rest. I just parked in Spiceland, IN. I'm on one of those awesome Robinson to Palmyra loads.

 

Lol maybe they swerve ya and send you out there with some feed for all the cattle the have behind the dairy. How's your tours been? I recently saw a Prime pull a hopper. That may be the first mega I've seen jump in the hopper business
