Millis OTR journal

Lmfao, do you really have no idea who the heck I am?

 

Got a strange QC msg from William yesterday, "call me". Uh oh, did someone see me peeing in a Gatorade bottle? Phone calls never happen between William and me. Scared stuffless.
Didn't know we had dedicated runs but I was offered one yesterday. I took it.

I take most of my hometime at my sister's house in Perry GA. Got offered to run out of Best Buy in Dublin Ga SE regional through the holidays. I'm wading into uncharted water for me but we'll see what happens.

And yes, I keep my OTR truck.

 

I actually ran that dedicated account with my trainer during the 2015 holiday season. It was pretty good. A few tight store docks and dealing with shopping areas with cars darting around. Some were cake.

Not sure if much has changed since then but at that time your day began and ended at the DC in Dublin unless you ran out of hours before getting back. At the end of the day we would bobtail to a Loves just down the street for our break and then early AM head back to the DC to pick up a preloaded trailer and head for the deliveries. At that time you could not stay at the DC. Usually no more than 2 stores on any one trailer. The trailers belonged to the company who had the contract with Best Buy which at the time was Koch. They were all roll up doors and no worries about weight or scaling anything. Usually never heavier than 25k.

After the deliveries you would go back to the DC with the same trailer, sometimes with return items from the stores and drop it. Rinse and repeat.
We went all around the southeast, as far west as Alabama, north into South Carolina, Tennessee and south as far as Tampa and Orlando.

We basically ran team so were probably able to do better than a solo can because we never ran out of hours away from the DC. My trainer cleaned up money wise I know that.

 

I appreciate that reply. Makes me feel better about my decision as that’s exactly what William and Tom told me.
So far as some tight parking lots and tough back ins, I pretty much thought that upon accepting the offer. Thanks @JOHNQPUBLIC ^5
