Climate Express

Man.......I'm in Etna, OH now. I'm headed back from New Jersey with a load of grapes. Delivers at the ever familiar Aldi in O'Fallon. I just parked because I am out of time. I'm low on my 70 and caught in a big time snowstorm. I told them when they put this on me that I would do good just to get it delivered tomorrow night lol. It's a 1 am delivery appt tomorrow night. I got a little under 4 hrs left so I'll take off 8 or 9....if I can get out. It's gonna be about ½ a foot of snow that falls here. It's like 10 here and windy. I know you're up there in those states freezing like hell.... I think I've had enough winter lol

 

Ahhhhh you're close to delivery at least. This dispatch team is going to squeeze every second out of these clocks. Squeeze em til they fart lol. We are all earning our cash this weekend. I did swing by a Rutters to grab some tacos.....that HAD to happen lol. That was soothing in terms of gearing up for the storm

 

Well....they told me to take the rest of the day off. Aldi isnt opening tonight so I'll get a much needed 34. State of Ohio has a travel ban so I can't go anywhere even if I wanted to. Got quite a few trucks stuck over here at the Love's.

 

You can say that again. I actually didn't get much sleep last night. I sat in the fuel island til a spot came free. I knew I wasnt going anywhere til tonight at the earliest. I kept having to circle around so they could plow. 2 spots came open, and... JACKPOT! lol

 

So I was rescheduled for 10 pm tonight. I think Aldi is going to try and unload 3 nights worth of freight. Line of trucks all the way past the Route 79 bridge. It's about to be a long night tonight lol.
