    Wanted to put a warning, save some headaches. If you're picking up or delivering to Mars in Chicago, off oak park Ave, make sure your trailer has fuel and is relatively clean. You do not want to have to turn around to get that taken care of. Besides nothing nearby, getting to and from the place is miserable. About 10mi of city side streets. Also, when crossing the rr tracks, you want the first drive before the guard shack, not the second. The turn onto oak park from grand Ave is kinda tight to so watch that. Facility itself isn't too bad, drop and hook and ok maneuvering room. Scale on-site too. Idk if they let reefer/vans use it as marked for tankers, didn't think to ask. Just FYI.

    42k of McNuggies being offloaded near St Louis.

    Place took me in an hour before appointment and am locked into a door. Let's hope it's an easy offload. Reviews for this place are mixed.

    Just as I feared, the weekend ####### are ####ing with my load to NC. Making it so in order to stay on it, I have to do another short #### run, which will start my 14 so early tomorrow that I won't get far enough Monday with my remaining time on my 14 after delivering the short ####, then picking up the load going east to make it to NC by Friday. I had my whole trip planned out, and now they pull the "I am their only option" bull-####. I state this again....anyone thinking about coming to work for these ######## needs to rethink their plans....this company is so much worse than what Mr. A built that it looks more like CRE or Western Express than the quality company it USE TO BE.

    Just drop it at Lenoir City and do a 34 there. Surely there is something on your truck that needs, or will need, some mechanical attention.

    But that'll cut almost 500 miles off my load. After a $0 paycheck this week, and a less than average check next week, the extra $350 is needed.
     
    Jarhed1964 and JoeyJunk Thank this.
