Climate Express

Currently I'm on my way to a dairy farm over near the Kansas Colorado border. I have a load of feed on for the walking steaks.

 

Are you coming back to MO with that reload? That's one hell of a deadhead there. You're running the hell out of those Climate Miles lol.

 

Talk about having to grind hard to make thay delivery. I'm sitting in Oak Grove, KY waiting on a driver to swap loads with and head to Greenville by 7 tomorrow morning. His hrs are shot. I couldn't get a hold to him so I hope he didn't run out of time. The beer load I'm giving him drops at 8 am tomorrow. I dont think he will make it to Jefferson City, maybe he's dropping at craftsmen. Dispatch's problem lol.

 

I'll start tomorrow with counting the deadhead to get loaded and then the loaded miles 1900 miles to do by Saturday night.

 

Carried it to coastal picked up another coke load for denver

 

When you say coastal, do ya mean the trucking outfit just north of Troy MO ?

 

They have a new cold storage facility in Foristell MO. Just got my reload, potatoes going to Crafstman by Saturday. This has been a good wee

 

I had went there last week. It's Coastal Trucking extending into cold storage, much like how we used to do those Witte Bros loads. It isnt as big as Witte, but its a drop and hook spot for us. Place is nice.

 

That's cool. More business for you guys. I passed a couple Climate trucks coming east on 70 today. Finally seen a couple of those freightliners. I don't care for that color. The blue doesn't pop out as good as on the Volvos. Climate could actually go to the VNL 660. Volvo brought those back. They'd be bout the same weight as the 760's. They're just not as big a sleeper as the 860. Not sure if they're smaller than the 760 or not. Made Marion IL. 620 miles to do Saturday an deliver Albany, GA. Then I'll go on my reset. Already got a tentative plan put together to run me till Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

 

I need a pic of one of them freightliners, for science.
