    Picked up my first Hershey load going to T R Toppers in Pueblo. Any of y'all been there? Directions are very confusing. It sounds like first I go to the address on the load assignment (320 Fairchild) and from there go to the actual business some blocks away. It's got me scratching my head and dispatch hasn't responded to my request for clarity so I thought I'd ask if anyone here is familiar with the run.

    Yeah brother, I've been there a few times. Its very easy. The directions are spot on. When you turn on Fairchild, you'll be facing the building. You just have to go around back to the truck entrance
     
    Metacoyote and Lumper Humper Thank this.

    I usually park overnight on Fairchild, then creep around to the truck entrance at less than 5 mph, don't wanna kick off the drive time. It's no traffic in this area so creeping is no big deal. When you turn into the entrance, park to the left and check in. They may have you unload at a different door than the ones there, but they will tell you.

    I drove from the TA in Oakley, KS to Craftsmen, dropped and hooked to a empty to take to smith foods, and now i’m parked at the yard. Productive day.

    We were both a little sore. We're in a different truck headed to Phoenix. Kenny gave me 6 months probation. Said they kept me cuz of my good record with the company.

    6 months probation. Bummer. At least you kept your job brother. Good thing is 6 months go in a flash when you're a trucker

    Hmmm...instead of turning left on Excellence, can you stay on Fairchild and then turn right on Walt Bassett? Great aerial shot btw. I ran out of time so me and another Climate driver are spending the night at the Limon FJ.

    So glad you're still with us. Pretty sucky though -- the probation. Accidents like that (especially on a rainy day) could happen to any driver at any time. There's only so much we can control. But as we all know, it's always the truck driver's fault.
