    Cool. Thx. I got called to a dock at 16:15. Kinda funny sorta. I'd been told by security we don't start till 5 so go park an we'll call you. I know only 45 minutes early that i got the call but imo don't speak words that you're not willing to stick by.

    Wow , they knocked on my door with the bills at 19:15. That's pretty dang quick for mclane in temple TX. Round 3 hrs total from called to dock till done. Not really a very productive day though. Only ran approx 85 miles for the day. No parking at coke in waco an since it delivers at 5AM i am gonna have to sit here at temple an leave around 4AM to get there an checked in by my appt. The other driver isn't quite here yet. Hope i can get most of the miles tomorrow on this week. Didn't start till Tuesday so it's gonna be a real short week.

    That’s unusually quick for them. Not sure how many cases you delivered but when I was there they had to count over 5k cases plus some OS and D

    The bills said 112 pieces an 36000 lbs. Trailer was full all the way to the trailer doors. Not sure how that's only 112 pieces. But definitely quick nonetheless.

    You know when you go to Coke in Waco you're allowed to park at the Walmart across the street. That lot is huge and easy to maneuver and nobody bothers truckers there. Most nights it'll look like a truck stop lol.....nonetheless though, 3 hrs is impressive for any McLane!

    It's probably one of those loads of displays. Some of the stuff Hershey puts on the trailer aren't always identifiable lol

    Plus to crawl from wal-mart across to an into coke truck entrance would be quite the creepy crawl. Personally i don't get why we can't park on that inbound service road at that coke. Plenty of room if ya ask me.

    Never really noticed before but H E B, Walmart, an Mclane all sit along Wendland rd there in temple. For @bryan21384 that pfg you had mentioned is like the road before ya get to the wendland exit on north side. Also found as i was on my way in here to get pallets that Mclane has a south warehouse here in temple off of 363 an loop 205. It's not a very big facility though.

    So they had me drop my sugar ld here at Craftsman, and pickup a ld to Souer Brands in Greenville for Mon. This is on Tl # 1233, and who ever dropped it nearly destroyed the BOLs. It looks like they were dropped in the rain, then just jammed in the silver box. REALLY!! I guess the thinking was ,oh well the next guy can deal with it. Anyway it's been awhile since I've been down there. Y'all know if there is still construction in the Gorge? So since I have so much leisure time, guess I'll finish out a ten here at Craftsman, and leave in the night tonight. To my brother Climateers, have a great Climate Miles Wknd. Peace.
