BigR's Place, back at MBM

Well, got the ankle preaty much healed up, back on full duty again. At least they kept me workin' while it healed. Did a transfer to Florida to one of our centers, then ran a tean route to CA and did a recovery of a truck and trailer for our Ft. Worth center. PPicked up a backhaul then brought it back solo. Now im back on my regular route, freezin' my tail off in Nebraska, lol. FL & CA are'nt bad places to be in January.

 

Another good thing i'd forgoten about foodservice, 90% of the time we spend the night in our customers parking lots. No more tryin' to find a hole in a truckstop in the middle of the night. At the Lonestar Steakhouse accross from the Kansas Speedway now. I must say so far it's great to be back, been runnin' 6 days a week ( my choice ), and lookin' forward to seein' a full paycheck again.

 

Similar yes, but not quite the same. We don't do convience sore's/ gas stations. Only resturants, yes the work is physically demanding. But compared to other foodservice companies ( even other MBM'S for that matter ), we don't have it too bad at our center. Our main customers Golden Corral and Sirloin Stockade, we dont wheel the product in. We break down pallets in the trailer and the customer takes it off and wheels it in. We've only got a couple steakhouse chains that we do wheel-in's at and their usually small stops. Now that said it is still very physical work and you earn every penny, but all in all it ain't a bad gig.

 

Don't blame ya' there buddy. Sounds like a preaty good gig. Your right about sleeping in your own house, i'd forgot how commfy my bed is, lol. Not to mention the wife's cookin'.
