PRIME drivers...What's your 20?

JCW is headed for Carlisle, PA to spend the night at either Flying J, Petro, or Pilot on his way to TN.

 

hey ord,
when you go choose your truck do you have to look for a truck with a headache rack, or can you pick one without and they add it?

 

Hope you got out of the NW okay!
Did a short but lucrative run from Bordentown to Breinigsville, PA (yeah, Nestle) back to Burlington, NJ. Now back at the Petro in Bordentown but headed back to Nestle 2moro morning to get a load to Salem, VA. Interesting on the directions for Kroger in Salem. It says can't arrive more than 2hrs early... but it has overnight parking available. Hmmm... anyone? Bueller?

 

Who said anything about "picking"? Company drivers don't get to pick. They assign trucks based on what they have available. Lease drivers get to pick. They will add a rack to a truck for a lease op. Anyone here who wants info on it can pm me. I'm only in SPRINGMO til maybe tommorow

 

At Sam's Club in Pueblo CO gettin' unloaded.

 

At the Pittston terminal for the night, Pageland, SC tomorrow night. Good to be back in the US! Had a run from Laredo to Brampton, ON, then went to Lima, OH for a PPG load to Quebec. Lots of miles, but I'd just as soon stay in the good old US....

 

Welcome back to the US! lol

 

Drive down Broadmoor (MI-37) there in Kentwood and stick your nose out the window.

When it smells like waffles you've found a HUGE Prime presence in your "neck of the woods".

When I was there two weeks ago picking up a load, there were probably 40 Prime trailers there.

 

The 2 hours early thing would be new to me. However, the lot they have there is kinda smallish for a grocery warehouse. So it might be a new policy due to overcrowding in that lot.

 

Confusion like that, I call and ask.

Sometimes the load info for each stop will have conflicting info with the Mac19 directions. More often than not its just one says no O/N parking and the other says yes.

Another example is my current 90 at Walmart in Washington CRT-House. Mac19 says no drop for Produce or flower loads... But if you are bringing ice cream you wouldn't know you couldn't drop ice cream either unless you fully scroll down and read everything on the 90 dispatch message.
