Running with JCT, Part Deux

Yea, Chitown and 0-16!!!

 

Keep getting emails from JCT about coming aboard. Something is intriguing about it. Like the idea of running all 48 again

 

I don't remember the customers name, but they are on 17th. There is a sort lot you can park in a block or two away on George St or park behind the college. Back entrance next to dirt lot.

 

Jewel. I was just there yesterday. Big distribution center. Took almost 3 hours for a full trailer.

 

Yep. That's them. Last time I was there it was 7hrs for a full trailer.

 

I think he's referencing the delivery times on that load... How you can schedule 3 separate deliveries in the Chicago area and then expect to be in Detroit the next morning on time

 

I realize that. Make the first two drops, then head straight over to Jewel and park in the location I provided. Get some sleep. When time to deliver, sneak in, unload, get some sleep while unloading. Break should be done. If not, almost, sneak back to parking area, get a little more sleep. Leave for Detroit as soon as 10 is done.

 

The issue is making appointments for 6am and a 3pm in the chicago area. It took me almost 2 hours to get to the 55 truckstop after I was empty. A whopping 28 miles. And now I must do a split break to make Detroit on time.

 

Who ever made those appts must of been looking at a map and saying..it's only 4inches...lol

 

Omnitracs must be crazy this morning. I have been sitting for that past half hour and just got a message about checking my speed because I may be violating the posted speed limit.
