    Gorgeous Mr. ncmickey... :yes2557:
    Today I decided to take WA-22 WA-221 and WA-14 to cut short... saved a few miles and some minutes....

    Wasn't heavy and haven't been on those roads for a loooong time... Almost no traffic and the view is nice... But there was a lot of smog in the air...

    Well. This should be fun!

    Tiny scissor-lift dock that I can't see in my mirrors when backing up to it perfectly. Oh well, I'm in the "dock" taking my 30 while I wait on store personelle.

    Thanks to my teacher in school for a trick in backing up to places like this.

    Also, there's a new Loves down this way. At least I think it's new. At the very least it's well-kept. U.S. 82 in Columbus, ms. Kind of an odd place to put it, but my bladder didn't complain!

    Running start?
    Then they put it in the perfect location.

    I'd try to rest, and I do need it, but there was a crew of about a dozen lumpers in there having their AM pep rally with three trucks on doors, so product is already coming off. Must be new hires, or they all woulda promptly gone on lunch right after opening for the day. Hope they'll take long enough for a few early risers to depart from the QT.

    No, that's when you open up the door get back in the cab, rev the engine and pop the clutch. All that crap goes flying out the back and there's no need for a dock!

    More like get lined up perfectly, pace the distance to the dock, walk up to your side mirrors and pace the same distance back. Drop a set of keys and back to your mirrors get to that spot.

    Also, you know you can "gently" remind those lumpers why they have that name right?

    Start smacking them with a very thick stick and demand that they unload your truck now. All those lumps they get from that big stick or why they are called lumpers.

    … That's my story. And I'm sticking to it.

    So that's his game! Sorry Joker just wants a section 8!

    Store number one successfully unloaded. Bound towards Tuscaloosa now.

    Ordinarily, that'd be right. This morning I wanted to sleep a little more. So they did me a favor by getting it done fast. Fortunately there was one solar powered driver that lifted his sleepy head off the pillow before sunup and I got his space LOL

    For those that slum around Kroger once in a while, I found this transition schedule for the new super DC in Atlanta. Of course, reading your bills before leaving the shipper works too, so I've heard.

    August 31, 2015 Dairy
    September 14, 2015 Produce
