Millis OTR journal

Pulled into Owens Brockway in Lexington NC, and our load isnt ready and ONLY 9 trucks in front of us.....let the detention clock begin.....

 

I seem to remember there is a pond or something off in the tree line on the right side so at least you'll be able to take a bath there tomorrow morning.

 

Lmao thanks for the tip really like how fellow Millis drivers always willing to help....lmao. Im pretty sure somewhere on this site in the past Ive mentioned how much I hate this place. We were lined clear out to the tracks.

 

See the 4 times I've been here since I've been back the loads were ready. Today was just another level of a clusterf however. 2 hrs we finally in a dock at least. Spotter told me he showed uo to work today with trucks lined up and he said if that happens he cant get our stuff pre loaded. Idk hope I'm not back soon

 

Well it ended up being alot better than expected...got in dock 2hrs in and was loaded after 2 more hours. 4 hours total is a win in my book after seeing what it looked like when we crossed those tracks. Was actually able to get up the road a bit to the J in Wytheville and grab a shower. Trainee is over 11k miles now and between now and Mon should get another 1500 or so. Thinking he may be out come next Friday...

 

Yup thats the plan lol. Wanted to be student free for xmas and new years weeks so didnt have to deal with logistics of getting him home for holidays and then picked back up.
