Abilene Experience

Thats right. They had 2 lates on it last week. Kind of upset me. One driver allegedly stopped for a nap after goofing around the yard during his 10 and the other had to complete his 10 before picking up. Slideways and I ran the initial run. Jewan your a local right?? Its Ukrops! Its going to be a good acct. Every other day now but volume cound easily triple. If I was looking for an awesome run with good miles as a dedicated I would ask Rusty for it. It is very high profile and they really need to dedicate it to a good driver. Backhaul is automatic either out of Columbus or Groveport. One backhaul a week will be bringing empty baskets/crates back.

 

I will PM you.

 

yes I'm a local but not quite ready to jump back into the dedicated loop yet. I came from walmart dedicated, I haven't traveled all the areas I wanna see as far as OTR

 

Thanks BB. You and Johnboy and the rest of the blog gang will always have a place in my heart. Love you guys back!! In Florida now with a 3dropper on Tuesday. Pompano Beach, Medley, and Opa-Locka. Johnboys neck of the woods. Up here in Lee Florida at the Loves 262 on I 10. Enjoying it so far, though fighting a cold. Must have caught it on the flight to Dallas. Deuces.!!

 

I hear you. Id still like to see Montana. I havent been to Vermont but Im ok with never going there!!!

 

So we got delivered at WALGOR. Arrived at 1720 for a 1830 appt. empty at 2130. Yeay! Only 25 seperate bills for the delivery. No wonder it takes forever. Drive back to yard went to Waffle House. Bought Eric (hired 2 weeks ago) dinner. It was his birthday and he was going to eat a burrito out of the machine. Slept in and went to see Higgins. Not much happening. Choice was to wait until tomorrow or go to Wytheville and grab Amcor for mt top. So were getting loaded here now. LUL at 2pm tomorrow. We will be at the Loves here until Midnight. Traffic NB sux bad!! I found out that not all AMCOR loads are 6800lbs. Ours is something called "preform" and yep 42-43k lbs. oh joy. Kyles turn to drive!!!

 

This is how I roll. Trainee, get your Windex and clean my windows!!! Just kidding. Kyle's a wee bit OCD about a clean windshield. Gone through 3/4 of a big bottle of Windex in a week!!!

 

When I was with pumpkin trukin one of the accounts I was on was Crown, Cork and Seal. We did the performs for 2 liter bottles. Ya think that would be light. They are plastic test tubes and thousands of them. Always loaded heavy.

 

Tell him to get some of those rip shields made for his truck. I could see him start with an inch thick and stop every hour to rip one off...lol

 

Gotcha. These big bins were all sealed up so I couldnt peek. Thought maybe it was a few million twist off caps. You're a wealth of knowledge this morning.
