Millis OTR journal

Sorry for the delay. Was driving all day and forgot to do this on my 30.

Yes the pin is the docks. Go up that side street (Bob Masia Dr) and turn left in there and sight side back around the corner of the building. If you get/got there tonight just pick your door, put the BOL in the tail and back into the dock. They will start on you in the AM.

From my experience the 2 docks closest to the building are usually open and the one furthest out usually has a class B truck docked.

 

Yeah this is the place I thought it was. Pain in the balls to get backed into but I'm on the dock with some help from another Millis driver that was already here. When I was here before it was easier because I took the outside dock. That wasn't an option tonight so I'm on the inside dock. I do not remember there being a ditch between the driveway and the woods before.

This place kinda sucks. Lol

 

Yeah the only good thing about it is being able to dock, go to sleep and they just start unloading in the morning without bothering you. I do not recall a ditch there either. Been awhile since I was there.

 

Wow, Heidelberg in Columbus is pretty tight. With every single one of there trucks in the lot.

 

Picked up in Weedsport. Delivering in Liverpool. ALL the miles.

I'd not delivered to this warehouse in the back. I get here and the Millis driver that's already here tells me I can back in before I check on. So I do that. Millis driver was wrong and the guy was kind of a dick about it. Not really sure why it matters at a place like this. Whatever.

 

AL George?

 

Yeah

 

Lol, I had a load that was supposed to be delivered to Saratoga springs on Saturday 7 am. I was told I could deliver it Friday at 2 pm. Show up on Friday at 1, told shipping clerk I had 2pm appt. He couldn’t find it, I told him it was originally a sat. 7 am appt. He told me that he would appreciate it from now on if I wouldn’t lie to him about my appt time.

 

Some of these people enjoy being insufferable pricks. I think it's the only joy they get out of life.

 

So I pull out of Baldwinsville with 47,205 in the box. I think 47,500 is the max we tell our customers we can haul, right?

I pull on the scale and go inside. My drives were 33,760 and my trailer was 33,700. Shipping guy asks me if I was okay with my weights. All I could do was laugh and say "I don't think I have much choice!"

It's amazing how different the typical 44-45k Miller loads feel compared to this.
