    I know that I will get into a rhythm of getting sent to smaller, more out of the way stops here. Perhaps boosting sales at under performing stores gets them a better discount, I could be wrong about that though.

    Both stops kicked off today without issue. 1st stop (PFG in Temple) was one of those bipolar review locations. Fortunately I was on the 5 star side this time. 2nd stop had 2 pallets, but since it was fresh beef, they needed to be broke down to 2 high. The guy was gonna call in his lumper, but I told him it would be quicker if I did it, if they allowed it. 15 minutes later I got a hardy thank you and was pulling out of the gate. I did it more out of self preservation (of my 14 hr clock) than anything. He said as fast as I did it, the lumper wouldn't have even gotten out of his driveway. So I was done and out of there 45 min before my appointment, and had a happy customer. Now I am sitting in the Blue Beacon line on the east side Love's getting a trifecta (washout, truck wash and trailer wash). Hauling fresh beef, it should be washed out, and this is the 1st chance I have had to wash off all the deicer without a running reefer. My truck is almost as white as my trailer.

    I once had a 2 stop kroger load that was 400 each. 500 for one stop though would be a record for me as well.
