    Safeway doesn't start receiving dry van until 0200....so my guess would be ....does he even have a door assignment yet?

    wouldn't it be nice if all the DC's could learn the Costco method....and not keep the driver in the OSD log jam!

    We are. We've taken liberties on their staging area, and idled in here and spent the night.

    Actual unload was complete at 2345. Detention awarded was an extra $130.

    Our pickup isn't until 1400. So we're going to keep our heads down and try and stay here another 3.5 hours.

    And now we are woke.

    Oh we're way past that. This load just goes down to the southern part of THE COMMUNIST STATE. That's where the big load is waiting.

    Just have to time it so it all works with HOS.

    Mistake was made not filling the thermos.

    Overall The OM is pleased.

    Fuel stop up at the light has fuel lanes at the back. 7-11 inside and Der Weinerscnitzle in the parking lot.

    I opted to pass on the burrito joint inside. Have consistently got a bad vibe from it.

    @Dale thompson boss said, “If you can’t run at least 850 miles per day in that new Cascadia, you’ll find a pink slip in your stocking this Christmas party.”

    Onions lead to severe bad breath...so say the Girls.
