Melton, Whatcher 20

Why didn't you just go to terminal? It's just an inspection bay when u enter, they check in out under and all that of the truck. It's basically a Melton border check point kind of thing, if you have something that shouldn't be hide it well cause they check it all.

 

Did someone tell you that you are delivering in laredo? 99% of the time we have to go to the terminal for inspection and most likely drop the trailer there for the Mexican carrier to come pick up.

You may want to ask in the morning.

 

My instructions are to deliver first..

 

If that's the case, you'll come in to the inspection bay and they'll inspect the truck/trailer for any problems and write up a shop order if it's needed. They will take a peek inside the cab/sleeper and side boxes/tarp box/headache rack for contraband. You'll go in and drop the trailer in the lot on the left and bobtail to the shop or bobtail parking.

Go into the main building and sign in so that youre on board. From there, you'll grab your badge, permit book, medical card, long form medical and your qualcomm instruction card and go to the safety department which is in a trailer outside the main building. You'll see either Pat or Ruben in there (i prefer to deal with Pat) and you'll go over your logs/violations. May get a random drug test, and they'll probably sit you at the computer for training videos if you haven't done them.

Safety will clear you and you'll go back to the dispatch window for a load, they will probably tell you that they will call you when your load is ready. Secure, tarp if you need to or pay the Mexican tarping companies $20 and they will do it for you. Fuel and head out the gate!

 

You should be a story teller. I suck with words and explanations don't come out as well.

 

Lol. I would if I could get paid for it!

 

I'm in Fruita CO. Gotta be up at 0230 to make denver delivery at 0800 and I can't sleep!

My weather app says there's a chance of snow tonight in the rockies. I guess I'll find out if that's true or not! Hope I get a Trane load tomorrow. I wouldn't mind railroad ties either. I was out there like 2 weeks ago and got a tarped slinky load from rocky mountain steel.

 

God how much padding did u need for that not to rip them up. Must of been specialty slinky, the 2 I've had didn't need tarp.
