Climate Express

Finished delivery at McLane in Temple and now at McLane in Fort Worth. Not picking up here, but we deliver here enough that I can snag one of their parking spots without question lol. Not sure if the weird middle of the street parking is private property or public parking, but it is convenient. I know the parking right next to the guard shack is private.

Picking up in Arlington tomorrow at 14:00 and delivering in Holts Summit, MO at 0900 Friday. Will put this weeks mile tally up to 3450 or so

 

Gotta love those Climate Miles...

 

Load info says CH Guenther, googling address says Premier Frozen Foods or Sigma Foods -- one gets much better reviews than the other lol. Im sure you can guess which. It's a -10 load, so I'm going to hope for the better. And definitely agree on the borrowing parking. Saving 20 miles can make an hour or two difference if DFW traffic gets crazy. On this load, which is 580 miles through DFW, through red-light hell in OK, and then through the hills of MO to get up near Jefferson City for a next morning delivery, it's about the only option I had.

Hopefully they let you take your load all the way to PA -- nice getting to spend 3-4 days not worrying about pickups and deliveries. Gives flexibility on how you want to work your hours a little.

For me, I'm excited about trailer tail day

 

They’re taking the tails off?

 

Unfortunately not lol. They've sent a handful of reminders and motivational speeches about using them though. I've always used them if they worked, but can't say I've been heartbroken if I get a trailer without or a trailer with broken ones that should stay closed lol.

I like the new trailer specs with the little aero pieces on the corners and not the giant monstrosities.

 

If anyone gets a delivery for PFS Brands/Champs Chicken in Holt's Summit, you can overnight park on the street outside of the facility. Saw it on the Google reviews and they were correct. They're basically on a dead-end road and no signage saying otherwise.
