Central Refrigerated Truck Stop II

It's just cold storage, not a plant. I wish I could say I don't know why someone would skip checking in to steal an mt first, but I know exactly why and it just makes me mad.

 

Yes it is , on only trucks with more than 50k miles. It's the owner ops trying out new sales gimmicks. Bull****ing people wasn't working as well anymore.

 

Thanks Lastkid, just trying to pull my share of the weight.

 

After your 1st 3 or 4 weeks solo, if you're not averaging 2500+, well it's probably your own fault.

 

Lately I find myself starting to gripe about my week, but then I erase it and change my mind. It's a lot of the same old blah blah blah. Checking in on a "preload" that's not ready so you burn up your clock waiting with no detention and still can't do your laundry for a few more days. Checking in on time with 20+ other drivers (can you say overbooked FoodLion?!) and taking 45 minutes just to check in... I ran over 3K last week and for the first time in 3 weeks I'm not preset for the weekend by Thursday night. Things are good I guess so no point in whining about the little stuff!

 

I've been on this fleet for just over a year now, so if you're ever curious about one of our locations (that includes the non Kraft ones, since we seem to go to a lot of the same places) just shoot me a message. I pretty well know how they all operate and who messes what up.

 

He was my trainer for about a week a couple winters ago. he was in a t2000 then. he treated it like a team straight from the start... hope he doesn't do that with you

 

Anyone else forget Monday was a holiday? I didn't remember until we got the message today (after trippak pickup, conveniently enough). Anyone else gonna have a load or two missing off their paycheck? On the plus side the week after ought to be a pretty big check!

 

45 min to check in at Food Lion? I'll only use one of my three guesses...Dunn, NC?

 

I'm working on a new book, "Customer to English Translation Guide".

For example, when you arrive at a shipper for a pre-loaded trlr and they tell you, "we're not quite finished with it".

English translation: "We're about to start loading that one, but not sure if we can finish before break time".
