Running with JCT, Part Deux

Soule_Man has been to Whitewave Foods. I think he said that they'll work you in early. Parking is limited at US Cold. Try sending a Macro 12, but I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to park onsite.

 

I put in my best guess. If I have no idea I just put 2 hours. Haven't seen any evidence that anyone actually reads those messages anyway!

 

$3.86 at Loves in Santa Rosa NM. Checked my mpg from last fillup in Tehachapi. 7.07 with 22k in the box. QC showing 6.9 since reset.

 

Whitewave will take you early. I have been there a few times and they will usually work you in if you are cool with them. I love going to them because they usually have you loaded in less than an hour and out of there.

 

As for the time for loading and unloading I always put 4 hours because all of them are slow as molasses. LOL no one ever says anything to them anyways. They just make sure that you have arrived on time.

 

Left Albuquerque yesterday afternoon and ran 630 miles to Ft Worth yard. When I stopped early Sunday morning at the Rt 66 Casino in Alb, I sent in a mac41. Load not due over in Terrell at WM until 06:30 tomorrow. It is 05:43 the day before. They almost had me swap with a driver in Amarillo to get him home but cancelled for whatever reason. I am to call Shellie this morning to figure out whether or not I can drop it here for my favorite Hazletian, AlanP, who I just met here a few minutes ago. Pulled in with :37 left on the clock and an empty coolant reserv.... I mean no energy. Food is already cooking in the oven, and a good book laid out to nudge me into na-na land after eating. Figure Ill get up at 09:00 and call Shellie and Delbert to get stuff squared away. Due for home time this weekend.

QC is claiming 7.3mpg. I love light loads. Even though with 21705 lbs of spinach in the box, I could have sworn I saw Popeye tailing me down I40 with a menacing look on his face.

 

I'm getting 7.3 at 80k, running 55.

Terrible fuel economy compared to what I'm used to, but apparently I'm not doing too horribly on it considering it's just a freight shaker.

 

Delivery at Wal-Mart complete. Got a fresh 10 and my next load is at Swift/JBS in Hyrum, Ut. A whole 30miles from there. Called them to check if the load is ready and it isn't. Not surprised there. So, I will call them again in a couple of hours.

Anyone know of a washout there in that area. Don't want to drop to SLC for a washout.

 

As far as time put on the stop calls, I always leave it blank. And as for uscs Arlington, they have a staging area and if you are to early they tell you to park at the warehouse across from them. They may let you drop load on fw and let us deliver it depending on when you get there. As far as unloading early depends if they are busy or not, if not usually they'll take you even around midnight and have you out in an hour


jar head, nice to finally meet ya in person. I'm in garland now loading for the rail then headed back to yard probably. Cya there if you're still there

 

Well here I sit in Mira Loma. Got here 30 mins early and was unloaded In about a hour. Been sitting here waiting on a new trip since 7 am. Hopefully they find something soon and it's a good one.
