Millis OTR journal

Oh so you delivered in La Crosse? There's been a bunch of us hauling White Claw out of Blues City to Maletto Packaging in Eau Claire. I brought 2 loads out of Memphis to there and then reloaded in La Crosse for Midwest

When I delivered yesterday there was 1 Millis truck on a door and one showed up after me. Once empty, I went to BRF for another load of it someone had dropped over the weekend. When I got back there to deliver it, there was another Millis truck on the door and 3 more in line. Once empty I passed 2 more loads of it coming in. Thank you, White Claw drinkers of America. You're helping to pay for the house I just bought.

 

It was strange to drop a trailer, I swear I'm live load or unload at least 80% of the time. Yeah the way they're buying that White Claw we should be seeing tankers of it soon lol

 

Well there's a bunch of dropped Indian River Transport tanker trailers at Blues City now. I figured they were for ingredients but you never know.

 

Funny I've only been to Maletto once. They need to plow and salt their parking lot! Almost could not get my tandems slid back due to lack of traction when I went there. Could not get them back at the Blue City location on Market St in La Crosse the other day for the same reason. Almost could not get into my spot at their drop lot.

The rest of the time I've only gone to the main spot in La Crosse. I have some Leinenkugel from Chippewa Falls going to Trenton. Then likely something for hometime Friday in NY.

 

Yeah of the 3 loads I've taken to Maletto recently, I was only able to slide the tandems on one of them. At least they aren't dicks about it. The guy told me "Slide your tandems, if you can" so they know what it's like.

 

You know... I still manage to keep myself convinced that I can't back up 90% of the time in spite of me seeing drivers daily that look like they have a tougher time at it than me.

Watching a driver right now with a "million miles safe drive" sticker on his truck and he's having a hard time backing into the door next to mine. So I guess I don't suck at it as much as I tend to believe.

 

No matter how long you’re at this business they’re going to be days where you cannot back up to save your life and there’s gonna be days where you could just whip it right in a hole like there’s nothing it just happens that way

 

So..... I saw this on Facebook today. Lolololol I don't know the driver but I've seen this truck around

 

Saw this on Facebook too lol

 

Ugh wtf
