Millis OTR journal

I'm pretty new to this trucking thing. Are we supposed to enter truck stops thru the exit? And also find the least convenient and hardest to get into spot when there are trucks clogged up everywhere and they are dozens of nice easy spots.

Also much easier to just turn right once to enter the entrance versus right and then left on a small curvy road with trucks coming out at you. Always fun watching the truck stop mayhem.

 

I forgot about that eta, I'll have to let Opie know I'll be at le saint by 11, noon latest so he can hopefully get me a beer load I can hook to before ending my day at the terminal. Don't want to be hitting ready for dispatch at 1 in the morning.

 

Y'all are making me glad I don't get much of they coveted triangle freight. I'll stick with carpet and dog food.

 

Yeah only place I've had to sit too long is Smuckers in Ohio.

 

When it runs smooth there is nothing better. Other than this current hiccup I would have no problem doing this the rest of my career.

 

You better back off!! Lol

 

@MIT you change your mailing address to Memphis yet or did you get to go explore other parts of the country yet?

 

27 hours and counting. A lot has changed in my life. I now own a home I’m married with 2 kids. Not only do I like BBQ I can BBQ and Elvis ain’t so bad.

 

Omfg they are keeping you there? Why have they not taken you off that load?

 

I wasn’t the only one, there were 3 of us and I’m the last. One guy a trainer probably about 20 hours or so, the other guy right around 24 hours and then there is me, someone had to be last I guess.
