Climate Express

About to head to Lanter in Dallas to deliver these four pallets. A couple bottles on one pallet busted, but the rest are just shifted. Got rejected at McLane since they were going to Sam's and delivered as a whole pallet or something along those lines. Worst case is, I would've just offered to restack them and donated the bottom row of each pallet to a food bank.

Either way, better than a completely rejected load or total loss of the four pallets.

Only notable thing I could think of was one of the stair steps on US-75 might have been too much for a double stacked load on bottles lol. I'm sure I'll hear about it in the next couple days if they do have an issue

 

They won't have an issue with it. And if they do say something like I said just explain to him there was no driving events that caused it just to badly stacked set of pallets or something.

 

They ended up taking all 4. Only 3 bottles actually damaged. Roll of paper towels now for clean up and all is good. Besides whatever percent discount they got it for, it turned out better than expected.

The chronicle for today now is a sulphur smell and a dry throat. Safe to say I cracked the windows for the drive and will be hanging out outside the truck when parked until I get to a shop later lol. I'd rather keep all extremities, skin, and eyes if the battery decides to blow.

 

Reloading out of Irving tomorrow headed to Jackson, MO and they added layover pay for today. Guess I'll make the detour to the Flying Hook and get this battery replaced. Should be pretty easy to pick out which one considering it was very hot to the touch.

 

I loaded in Wisconsin and I'm headed to Neosho Missouri down there by joplin. I am getting ready to go by the exit that would take me to climate in union. I'm waving a hand at all of you and the climate yard.

 

Are you going to Nutra Blend in Neosho by chance?

 

Welcome back to 44! If you haven't yet, there's that nice, new TA in Mt Vernon, MO. Don't remember what exit, but somewhere around 48 right after the big ditch west of Springfield

 

Bills say weston enterprises. Neosho warehouse. Load of yeast. Bills call it Flavor as product description.

 

Didn't realize it was new. It was there when I worked at Climate. Made it to Lebanon Mo. Ran out of time on the ramp for Jonesys.

 

I just seen on trucker path that there's 2 T/a's now at mt Vernon exit 46. Yea the one on south side of 44 would be news to me. Didn't know that was being put there.
