Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

someplaces will let you retreive the locks tell them they are your personal load locks and the gate guard might let you bust the seal and get them then replace the seal with another just make sure they document this on the bills. not all places will do this but some will.

 

anytime! As with all training companies, keep expectations low and you won't be disappointed.

 

I know dude

 

if its a metal seal, just get a shim or thin peace of metal,like the seal you have in the truck, just cut the end off that has the hole and use it, slid it thru the metal seal where that little hook is on the inside of that round peace is, its no differant than placing a card in your closet door latch at home, bingo just pull and its unlock, get your load locks and put that same seal back on and no one nows, plastic seals can't do sorry

 

Well GOOD NEWS!!! I got my load locks back. Now for the BAD NEWS!!!! At craft in IL they had me set the refer to 70 deg. The bills say 70 deg. I pull in to drop the trailer and the guard puts in all the information. I tell him about the load locks and he calls about them. Well as I'm eavesdropping on him he says "33 deg? Well the bills say 70 deg as well" I nearly hit the floor. He tells me they need to temp the load it should have been at 33 deg not 70. Great!!!!! What more could go wrong here. I take my stuff into receiving after i get in the door. OK NEWS!!!!! The guys in receiving says it wont be on me because the bills say 70 deg as well. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. So now I'm sitting in front of the trailer waiting for them to temp it and let me know when I can go.

 

Make sure you send a mac 1 to dispatch let them know what's going on. Get everything on the qualcom. They may ask you to fax them a copy of the bills just so they can see it really says 70 degrees. Now for the bad news, Kraft may reject the load. In which case you will have to wait till tomorrow to call OS&D as they are not in on the weekends, for them to tell you what to do with the load

It sucks, but it's just trucking, it happens.

 

Made it 2200 miles from Atlanta, GA to Fontana, CA in 70 hours total time...now I'm delivering at Nestle in Mira Loma, CA. I've got 56 hours on my 70 and no hours coming back until tomorrow night (6:56 coming back) and I've got hometime coming up in 3 or 4 days in NorCal. I'm half tempted to just sit around until tomorrow or Tuesday and get a load up north. One of my friends has a load right now coming from Texas to Campbell's in Sacramento, he is willing to give it up in Fontana so we are gonna try to work that out so I can get home.

 

That surprises me.
Most loads out of Champaign are keep from freezing loads. And do not have to be kept cold.
I know some of them are refrigerated, but most are dry loads.

 

I hate Fred Meyer and now starting to hate kraft foods. My load wasn't in kraft's computers until sat going to puyallup wa. The Fred Meyer dc I'm going to receives 2200 to 0500. Because this crap load wasn't in kraft's computer which means its not in FM computer so central couldn't get me an appt for Mon am # 0400. Now I need to sit 40 miles away until Mon pm at 2200.

 

if i remember right every thing i hauled out of there was a dry load mostly salad dressings and mayo that went to either norcross or ft worth
