Central Refrigerated Truck Stop II

Many times, and yes it is. I usually skip the Pilot and spend my 10 on the street near uscmin if I need to.

 

It should just come on your check, though you may receive a confirmation that your request was received. If it doesn't show up on your statement call payroll to find out what's up.

 

As an L/O sometime we get paid for an MT trailer move... Especially if the person is on the old fuel plan it's a biggy!

 

Just make sure you ALWAYS make a copy of your receipt. If it somehow gets lost, you are sol unless you can reproduce it. May not be a big deal for two bucks, but if some one loses your lumper receipt, then payroll will assume you wrote a com check to yourself for that 200 to 300 bucks. If you have a copy, then you can send it directly to your payroll clerk if/when they don't get a copy of the original from trippak services.

 

If you can and if you have a computer on board, use the Trip Pak software, scan your stuff in, then you keep the originals. Then there is less chance of a receipt going missing!

 

Central has a couple drop yards just e few miles up the road in romeoville. They are only about a block apart from each other and always have drivers in there avoiding the pilot in minooka

 

But if you do go to Minooka, stop by Twoffers. Its a sports bar next to dunkin doughnuts. On Sundays they have a great pizza buffet, and they always have great 2 for deals. It's about a 3-4 block walk from the Pilot towards USCMN

 

Just make sure you have time on your clock to get there. It's only 20-sometin miles but anywhere around Chicago takes too long and you have to be aware, you're surrounded by idiots! Heading up there tonight, lol

 

Got my first meat load yay. Sarcasm. There really is no way around driving nights with meat loads. Oh well. part of the job. Switching shifts on a moments notice.

Oh yeah. almost forgot. first stop is Chicago. pfcil. at 0600. You bet your butt I'm getting there at 0300. Hopefully to ad void traffic. what times do you guys think traffic starts in the morning and dies down at night?
