Millis OTR journal

Lol that's happened since I was there last week.

 

Knew it wouldn’t take long they could have set it up a little better.

 

You see some of this stuff and you have to wonder what they were thinking. Just like the two rest areas that they just rebuilt in Ohio on 71 near Lebanon. I dunno of you've been on either of those yet but the exit driveways suck, and the ground is already all rutted out in both of them by drivers that don't pay attention to where their trailer is. Because you have to really watch it when you're leaving there. It's dumb and Ohio should've known better.

 

I guess freight has slowed somewhat. Once they were done with my b-svc in Cartersville yesterday evening I was #25. Finally got a load of scrap going to Cherokee around 9:45 this morning. Delivered that and now I'm #1 in line out here.

 

Same I got my load at 930
I’m sitting at Cherokee for the night. Dropping in E ST Louis yard.
Speaking of which I never been there almost 1 1/2 years and never been there.
Can someone tell me please if it’s the lot behind Pilot on Madison road?
There’s a race track across from the Pilot.
If so what’s the procedure to drop there?
Bills in nose box I’m guessing
What about guards?
Thanks!

 

Yes its the lot behind the pilot truck stop. Turn left into lot, pull up to "guard shack" they will ask empty or loaded. Go to the right go all the way to the last section and we drop our trailers directly to the left. And yes bills in nose box

 

Yeah that's the place. Bills in the nose. There's a guard at the entrance who will ask you if you're loaded or empty and will tell you where our section of the yard is.

 

If thats 9 45 est thats actually not too bad. 8 45 central time. Freight doesnt start getting released for the day till between 730-0800 central. Also gotta take into account that the QC wasnt working which made 0700-1000 a royal nightmare for dispatch lol

 

Bazookajoe you parked up on the hill? I was gonna go up there but I decided to go down to the Shell instead. I wanted some ice cream.

 

I've just been spoiled lately by being able to send a Mac 4 at 0300 and get a load within minutes.
