Climate Express

Just got back to Pontoon Beach to kill time until I deliver at Aldi - O'Fallon at 0200. Delivered in Wilkes-Barre yesterday and reloaded out of Bethlehem. Only 8000 pounds made PA a breeze and 250 or so more miles compared to Palmyra round trips. Picking up from Midwest to route through the terminal on the way to Temple, TX. Normally would've sounded terrible, but haven't been to Texas since October, so I'm kind of excited. Supposed to be high 60's and low 70's there over the next couple of days.

 

What are your thoughts on Whataburger?

 

I thought it was good, but nothing out of this world. I'd put it slightly above the huge chains like Wendy's, BK, etc.. Whataburger doesn't even compare to the masterpiece of Culver's though, in my opinion.

 

It’s worth mentioning CODOT had their high profile/lightweight vehicle advisory up due to winds. I unloaded in Colorado Springs, came thru Pueblo and am parked in Antonito tonight waiting to reload. The wind was whipping pretty good, but I didn’t have any problems, I’m also a lot shorter than you are tho with my flat top and end dump. If you’re comin to get taters LaVeta pass was kinda icy and at the very top there were cars spun out and they were alternating traffic getting by it. No chain laws were up and I didn’t hafta flip my chains on so it wasn’t a big deal. They’re callin for more snow tonight and high winds so once I get on the other side tomorrow I can try to give you a report if I can catch you in time. I’ll be on channel 19 if you see me holler if you’re comin this way!

 

I came back up to CO today for Swire in Johnstown. I was lead to believe they would receive me early. Arrived at 1545 to be told to come back in the morning. My appointment is 0600 tomorrow, I was just hoping to be empty tonight.

 

I’ve been burned by those guys too lol. Coke never took me early in CO.

 

At least that Petro up the road is pretty nice. It's usually a less than an hour unload there, so you'll be rolling pretty early tomorrow. And then a quick reload out of Wray or Platteville most likely.
