Millis OTR journal

I hate Bud loads for that exact reason. The last few times I've been there I've wasted too much time playing adjust the tandems by 1 hole to get the weight to balance. What hole are you in from the front? Seems like you nailed it pretty evenly.

 

8th hole back. I was pretty shocked. I don't think I have ever gotten it right the first try here.

 

Trainer I had taught me this trick, he would set a glove on the ground right by where you fill up the DEF and then back up until his front steer tire was even with the glove weight was on the money dang near every time~don’t remember one time that it wasn’t actually

 

Missed 700 today by exactly one mile. 4 minutes left, ha.

 

So the big dawg is the selfish one in the granny lane, who doesn't want traffic to move smoothly? Got it.

 

Hey a while back you said you were starting your day earlier. You still up and on the road 3-4 am? If so how’s that working out for ya?

 

Lol 7 months 3 dispatchers. Those dispatchers must only have to sign 3 month contracts.

 

It's working out great when I'm able to do it. Of course a lot of the time the freight doesn't really allow it. But now I run further most days because it's still early when my 11 starts winding down and I usually don't worry about finding parking so I run it as far as I can.

 

I think it's safe to say that 3am is not going to be the new 8am. So finding parking spots at 3pm shouldn't be a problem, except at certain circuses Love's.

 

Delivering to Lakeshore on Halsted this morning.

1. It's not awful getting here, in spite of it being Chicago.
2. I'm glad there's plenty of room out front to setup for your back, because these doors are tight. I had to get out and push in my driver side trailer door a little tighter so that a Warner driver could back in next to me without taking my door off. Another Millis driver backed in on my passenger side and our trailer doors are nearly touching thanks to these goofy tails.
3. Sucks that they make you hang up your keys inside before they'll unload you. It's hot as balls today.
4. They are way behind schedule today or something. I got here on time. Still didn't feel the truck move until 2 hours later. I don't remember them taking that long before.
