    We are waiting to unload at mclane in temple tx at 9 tonight. Reload at biagi bros in morning. They gave us this so we could stop an get truck serviced yesterday. It was 6k overdue. I'd say this will definitely be another short week.

    This is my first time actually picking up at Fricks, wondering if it going to be a regular thing for us seeing 4 other drivers from climate their. Sorry to hear y’all not getting them miles, with all the drop and hooks we go to like Pueblo, Palmara, Robinson, edwardsville even the coke in Dallas next xpo is a drop and hook now. Hope it turns around for y’all.

    I picked up a Fricks load too, but this time I went to Indianola, MS. I have a 3 am delivery, and it's already a long line of trucks here. I forgot how crazy this place is. It's been years since I've been here. My miles haven't been the best this week either, I expected that this week though. I've been running pretty strong so I can't complain. They already sent me a reload that delivers to Tops in Union. I have to deadhead to Covington, TN to grab it. At least it's a drop.

    We've not run a tops load in quite awhile. I just pulled in at the quik trip at hutchins. Gonna check in early at biagis an see if we can maybe get loaded early.

    You may or may not get lucky at Biagis. I checked in early last time I went and it was over 5 hrs of down time there. They were hella busy that day. On a side note, a delivery at Supervalue in Indianola, MS makes for a super long night. I forgot how ridiculous that check in process is. Appts mean nothing there. Next time, I'm showing up while it's still daylight.

    Yea we checked in at 8 an still in a dock. Yea super valu's can be a big time suck. That one we went to in Minnesota wasn't too bad. Travis called an said they're just gonna run us back through the house this weekend cuz they don't have any long enough runs to keep us out. So he is just gonna give us a load to take home an deliver monday i guess.
     
    Lumper Humper Thanks this.

    I actually passed the house to get the Tops load. They had me bring it to the yard. Then they shot me a dispatch but I have to wait til Friday to get it. I brought an empty to Hershey, and tried to pick up a load for Palmyra, but Midwest DC don't work quite as fast as EDC does. They shot me that dispatch en route to Union as if I were going to keep rolling. When in reality, it was the weekend plan. Weird dispatching in my mind. Oh well.....a 34 it is.
