Millis OTR journal

Ok thanks.

My reload out of Rochester goes to La Crosse. I've never delivered there before. Just picked up. Do they live unload or do I get to drop it in the yard? (after parking across the street, of course ).

 

All drops in LaCrosse

 

Supposedly they got rid of some of the obstacles in St Cloud.

I've live unloaded there too.

Only time I've ever had to live unload out of LaCrosse is when they dont have any empties to get your next load pre loaded.

I do not remember why I had to live unload. I don't go there anywhere as much as you do so don't have their program down. Other than the parking across the street part.

I haven't.been there in forever, either.

Whoever designed this building in St. Cloud needs their ### kicked every day for the rest of their pathetic life. There's no excuse for this. They could've just as easily had the docks angled the other way. Another too cool for school engineer that must've caught his wife.in bed with a truck driver so now we all get to suffer.

 

All I can say is Lexington whse has nothing on XPO Rochester. WTF! Fricking tight almost have to go out the exit to get rear of trailer inside. Still sweating bullets.

 

I've been there once and hope it is the only time I go there. Place is probably the worst I have ever seen. Manager there said OTR trucks always have an awful time and he has told his boss about it. It is tight for a day cab and 53ft trailer. Of course no one cares because they aren't driving the truck.

I eventually ended up having to go in through the exit door and blind siding in because there was more open space that way. I also told the manager that he had to accept whatever door I could hit, not the one he wanted. The whole ordeal took 45 minutes and I ended up getting a clutch abuse warning from the clutch over heating. Totally ridiculous.

 

When I finally found the place there was a millis trailer in parking lot. Was excited thinking it was going to be a DNH. Went inside and that’s when the nightmare began. To top it off unlike Lexington they don’t make people disconnect from the trailers. Couldn’t even drag the trailer in close and pull out through door. Had to just go straight out exit door and then jiggle trailer into place.
