    1 is where you check in. 2 is where you load. When you’re done come out of the dock the way from whence you came, thru the gate and onto the backside of the office (1) to get your paperwork. They kind of changed their BOL process so you might get it in the office before you load, but either way that’s the way all truck traffic exits. It’s a little place you literally can’t screw it up. They used to let van go thru the load out bay to use the scale but idk if they do anymore, it’s pretty tight and I think guys were hitting the wall. Closest scale after you load is back in Salina unfortunately. But they been doin it forever, they got it down you should be alright.

    Man i ended up doing a 34 in Somerset, PA. The temps never rose above 15°. I got moving, then lost a little power, followed by a check engine light. Once I got off the turnpike I checked the fuel filter. The fuel didn't gell, but it was clogged so I changed right quick and got on my way. It solved the problem of course. It was so cold, that may have been the quickest I've ever changed one lol

    I just finished a local run, that dropped off at the Schnucks cold storage. That was the fastest I've ever been unloaded there...1.5 hrs! A new record for them lol. I'm about to grab a load of Chinese food for Waycross, GA. They are going to let me thaw out only to come back into the ice storm lol

    No. Waiting for a silgan load to get done. Don't have info yet so i don't know yet where it's going. But silgan loads usually aren't very long runs.

    Taking a silgan load to Minnesota. Quite the backstory to this one. This load went up last week and the climate driver was late. Customer had him sit for 24 hours. He got mad and climate told him to come back. So with this weather coming in tonight I may be screwed

    I brought pallets back to silgan. Grabbed a hershey load at midwest for Northfield Mn. Made it to hannibal mo and temp dropped and it started snowing. Roads were already covered. Had to stop at palmyra to knock off wiper blades and was sliding around trying to get stopped. Tried making the hook at wayland but ran short following a plow so called it here at canton mo. Gotta deliver at 22:00 Wednesday night. From what i can gather from the weather reports we should run out of the snow by time ya get north of iowa city. The storm line pics all show it as being south of there through tomorrow. Good luck an be safe. Now it's supposed to to get right down cold overnight up in Minnesota. Like in the negative temp range.

    I'm down in GA waiting to empty and then reload to go back to Baily in Granite City. Come tomorrow, I'm going to have all kinds of problems navigating that storm, but it's all good. If it gets too treacherous I'll take the day off. I got time on this load.
