JJ's Place

They want us to have to eat the yucky chain truck stop food!

 

Saddler's is now Pilot. White's is now Petro. Same owners just not independent fuel dealers anymore. The only way to make money in fuel is to have Fleet accounts with the large trucking companies. You can say good-bye to the real Truck Stops in America, they'll be a relic of the past in less than 10 years. Welcome to America's....Travel Centers.

 

In Motor City. Wolverine must have wanted my combo load pretty bad cause they put me right into a door. Am now a freezer services where they also put me right into a door. Just wonder when their going to start loading me?? 14 hr clock is ticking away!!!!!

 

Refrigerated places are so slow will not miss the ameri-colds or the grocery warehouses!

 

Ahhhh, the power of TTR. Right after I posted that, somebody must have called the freezer place cause they started loading me. Thnks to whomever called. Made it almost all the way thru IL before time ran out. Well ok, stopped for shower and food. Had an hr left I could've drove.

 

This is stupid!!!!!!!!!!! Am at my final and they tell me that I'll back in a door, they'll take some of the product off to check it, then I have to transport it to a different facility for them. What????? Are you incapable of doing that yourself or at least having another employee at the other place????? Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What is dispatch saying about this Panhandle?

 

o.k. now lets be a good little truck driver and do as they tell us we wouldn't want to make a customer mad now WOULD WE????????????

 

We have two new FM's, our old one quit after just a few months and Marci the other dispatcher is now doing Customer Service as she hated talking to drivers, So we have Dan who is always bothering drivers and a real stickler for Mac's and a new guy Doug who was a Broker Night Dispatcher said the new guy has even trucks and Dan has the Odd numbers, so I hope thats right and we have Doug and not Dan!

State finally Ok'ed the MRI, so JJ will be having it tomorrow and get the results on Monday SLOWWWWWWWWW but at least something is happening now!

 

Dispatch aka "The owner" knows about it and is ok with it. On top of that, I'm now leaving out, shortly, for an all night run that delievers in OKC. Least I have HT after that run. Unfortunately, its to Lopez. Been there, done that, will get a nap in while waiting to get in the gate. They check you in, make you turn around and go to the peelot, then call your cell when ready. They unload you pretty quick...... once you get in the gate.
