Millis OTR journal

Wassup Truckerland, long time no speak. Greetings from Delta Ohio. My last two nights have been ridiculous. I wanted to do a post two nights ago, but I had zero signal. No 4g, no 3g. I was on 1x and only had one bar. Yikes. Then last night I was going to grab some food and a beer and post from the restaurant but I was essentially kidnapped by another Millis driver. Weird dude. I was looking forward to a peaceful meal but ended up having company for the entire time. Seeing as how it would have been rude to post while I was with him, I had to wait until tonight. So, here I am with a very delayed update. It's been so long since my last one that I had to scroll way back to remember where I left off. I was in Virginia on my way to New York. I finished that load and picked up a load about 100 miles west. I won't mention the name of the company or the town, since I flamed the guy who loaded my trailer. I stand by my statement, that guy is an idiot. I'll be going in there with measurements and a game plan next time, because apparently I need to know how to do his job for him. That blows my mind. That load delivered in Illinois. My next load picked up in Edwardsville and delivered to a Meijer DC in Pleasant Prairie WI this morning. From there I went to the Richfield terminal and grabbed a beer load going to Rochester NY. It isn't due until Monday morning, but I'll be there tomorrow night for my 10. They are very good about getting you in early. I'll park, check in by phone, and wait for a call while on break. They have plenty of room to park and I won't even have to go on duty until the load is done. I'll be dropping off this load and my trailer will be reloaded with more beer going to Memphis. This is part of the legendary triangle. Hell if I could run the triangle non-stop I'd be a very happy camper. Great miles and FANTASTIC customers. Yo, Millis, if you want a dedicated runner for that hit me up. Happy to do it, even in the winter. Except for my New York debacle, things have been relatively smooth for the last few runs. By the way, what the hell hit Indiana on 80? It was a car and truck graveyard. Today I saw at least a dozen trucks either off the road or on their sides, and half buried. I saw a few mounds of snow that were cars completely covered in snow on the side of the road and wrecked. Apparently I dodged one hell of a storm. Yikes. I hope you guys are all both safe and warm at the moment. It's a friggin jungle out there with this weather. Love you guys, and I hope you're all doing well. Be safe and keep the rubber side down. Until tomorrow, peace y'all.

 

Nope. I was in a hurry. I needed my greaser filled and I had to do a dnh and bolt so I can keep my loads on schedule. I didn't even think about it to be completely honest. If something earth shattering has changed I'm sure we would have seen a message on the Qualcomm. I'll try to remember next time I'm at a terminal.
