Running with JCT, Part Deux

If you guys ever pick up at kroger in shelbyville, in dont drop trailer till you have checked in at shipping office... ignore the what the guard shack tells you cuz they apparently dont drop our trailers here much for pick up.

 

Since when? They have always been drop and hook?

 

The only trailers here besides Kroger are marten they have no jct trailers on site

 

Guess we lost that drop and hook contract

 

Maby... the lady at shipping had to call up to see what to do guess the memo never reached shipping office if that is the case

 

We only have a 1.2:1 trailer ratio. (Per Shannon on that xm interview) I'm surprised we have more drop an hook accounts and than JBS and Tyson anyways.

 

My load into Harrisonville (1st stop) was pushed out 24 hours the other day. Second stop was Oklahoma, they asked me to give up my load to another driver who needed to get home to OK. I said OK and he did not bring me an empty trailer as Tyson Olathe didn't have any. Luckily that was my next pick up so they didn't lose a trailer.

Was nice to take the 34 and take care of business bobtail though, haven't had that in months.

 

Also didn't jct just buy a lot of new trailers? Is it just a localized shortage in Oklahoma area with all the trailers in Arizona and California or something?

 

Been here 4 1/2 hours with 2 45 left on 14 and they havnt even started to load me yet... never comming here again. and what do ya know as soon as i write this post they start loading me

 

Anyone ever delivered to Mclane in Phoenix? Will they take me in the afternoon when I get there or should I expect to be told to come back at zero dark thirty?
