Millis OTR journal

Where do we stop at Beverage Distributors to go in with paperwork and get a door? So the docks are on King Avenue? I was hoping those docks on 38th were theirs...guess not.

 

Some people gotta be goody two shoes.

Reminds me of back in the summer. I was already banging on my 14. Had just hooked to the last available empty in Cartersville and was OMW to Pickens Co. Georgia for a broker load of powdered marble. I get ready to exit 75 onto GA20 and I get a message from Kat "Stop! Somebody called in and said you are missing a mudflap on your trailer!" So not being one that wants to anger thr safety lady, I turn around and get a mudflap put on my trailer before going up to the quarry. Was loaded just in time to make it back down to Cartersville to that little crappy truck stop at the exit for US411 next to the Waffle House. Had like 2 minutes left on my 14 when I pulled the brake..... And then I learned that they charged to park there.

 

I’ve had a few do the same thing. Buy yourself a good pair of Vise-Grips. Pull the pin release handle with one hand and clamp on the Vise Grips with the other. Voila!

 

Those are theirs also, have to have some super secret load to use them though. They also have docks across street. Receiving door is to the left of the cubbyhole docks about 80 feet away.

 

Farmer came up with a good work around. Other than the tandems slide issue it was a great trailer. Brand new wheels all the way around.

 

If the driver who was called in on was doing something egregious on the highway that could cause a major safety problem...you darn right they would called in on..i don't care if it's the same company or not...

 

Getting passed in the right lane of a 3 lane road isnt egregious for 1 thing. For 2 thats a ##### move plain and simple. Swerving over the road or something crazy then more power to you. But calling in on someone for omg doing the speed limit but went around you in the right lane? Gtfo with that crap.

 

Yes your trainer should have told you this. Ughhh vice grips are a must on these older trailers.

 

Ya CVille called BRF 1 time on my buddy cuz he left the yard with a tails closed....and BRF called my buddy about it. He was going like 10miles down the road....

 

He cant remember the truck # unfortunately.....should I know who 8055 is?
