Chinese diesel heaters - general review
Kroger Shelbyville
Another week soon done and I'm back at Kroger in Shelbyville again. I got loaded up in Woodburn north of Fort Wayne last night at 9 o'clock.
Thankfully they offered overnight parking so I did my sleep up there, and started driving down towards Shelbyville at 4:30 this morning.
Bananas
After my Wakefern load, I went down to the port to pick up bananas again. Think I arrived around noon to one, and by the 1700 or so I was ready to go. I drove straight to Columbus with a break in New Stanton travel plaza.
Arrived at 2:00, but they were a little busy so I slept a ...
Quakertown
I'm gonna try go back to updating this blog again. I'm still doing my Quakertown loads on Tuesdays, which is great. Winter is here and was a tough start of the day yesterday with lots of slow moving vehicles, but thank God for a left lane.
Pencader Drive
I'm back to Siemens near Glasgow Delaware again for a pickup of pharma stuff to Siemens in Plainfield Indiana.
This used to be a typical load back west before, it's fun to be back for a change for sure, the customer is great and loading usually is pretty quick, but not this time....
Lidl DC Perryville
I took my night outside the Turkey Hill gas station like I usually do cause my trailer wasn't ready and I was there a little too early and my hours were getting short.
I woke up at 5 AM this morning picked up my trailer and headed down towards the customer in Perryville. This is a new ...
Truck is repaired
Finally truck is repaired and I can start driving again. I'll be heading over with another load to Quakertown now. I picked it up earlier with a loaner truck
Autoposted
Quakertown was completed successfully again, next load is a very local run from Hazleton to Pottsville which is about 20-25 minutes drive.
It will be preloaded tomorrow at 1500 so I'll be chilling until then.
This is a perfect opportunity to get some groceries since this ...
Foodbank
Started early today and went up to Toledo with delivery at the Seagate Foodbank. The trailer was dropped during the weekend in the Columbus yard and I went over there this morning and grabbed it.
My appointment at the foodbank was 10:00, at noon I was done.
I'm h...
Kroger blue ash
I got this loaded up on Thursday afternoon, then took some time off on Friday, so this week turned out very low key. I decided after all to head back to Ohio on Friday afternoon by driving through the night instead so I did.
Started from KoP in the afternoon and drove about 3/4 t...
Jack and Jill
After the usual Quakertown delivery, I took a 7/3 split to make sure I could get down to Swedesboro the same night to be ready for my 6 am delivery on Wednesday. I was actually supposed to go straight to Hazleton to pick it up after since it should have been ready by noon on Tuesday. It wasn't...
BJ wholesale
Then I'm back again at BJ wholesale distribution center in Uxbridge MA. I arrived early and tried to see if I could check-in, but was told no appointment was made for this load.
With no appointment, things start to look bad, but I headed over to the McDonald's where there's some ...
Sysco Cincinnati
It was a horrible start to this trip, not very long after I headed out of Loves on 78 I saw a lot of commotion going on in the westbound lanes. From the radio, I could hear a woman had been run over by a truck.
Once I got to the shipper, things went fast. I called the phone numbe...
Homebound
It was a long way home from Boston to Columbus, but I did not run during the night this time. The heat and the truck that wouldn't idle at night plus the extreme headache I had made that impossible. I was popping pills to make it go away and it eventually did. I woke up around 8 am and was gro...
Weekend
Finally home after a pretty unusual week, not a bad week. Just unusual. I arrived yesterday in the afternoon at the Lineage warehouse in Conklin NY, but they were not able to get me unloaded early. Not a surprise really, I've been in this game for a while now.
I was directed to park in...
Weekends work
Seems like I'm back at the dog food factory again, but this time on a Friday. I decided to work this weekend so I got this load back out east yesterday, delivering today. The delivery of Velvet ice cream yesterday took longer than expected so I got short on my 14, which had me park early in a ...
Back in Enfield
I'm here again, on time as always. Spent the night at the local mall's parking lot where Sears used to be.
I parked around 21:00 last night and got up just after 7. A 5-minute trip later I checked in to the customer and one hour later I was on my way out
Harrington Delaware
I'm back here again, started at 2200 last night, headed up to the cold storage in Hazleton to pick up my preloaded trailer, but there was a new inexperienced guy in the guard shack that had no clue what was going on and couldn't find my bills or my trailer. He told me to leave and come back la...
No sleep again
Worked night from Sunday to Monday again, keep telling myself this is the last time. Once I ...
Burris part 1
Because of the long day at the dog food factory, I got up to the cold storage later than planned, but my next load from here was supposed to be preloaded so no biggie, but it wasn't.
I had them make this load preloaded while I took my sleepover at turkey hill, I also did the same with ...
Dryvan
Had a great start to the week until I went to Abbott to pick up a load to BJ in Massachusetts. They had it loaded on a dry van trailer, so the rest of the day pretty much sucked and it didn't help when the customer suddenly had stopped with overnight parking. It was like riding a bull without ...
Quakertown
I'm back with my Quakertown loads again, but this week I was also subject to a random drug test. I was called by my dispatcher Monday morning, wanting me to head into the office. No reason was given. Of course, that's a random drug test, but I've got nothing to fear.
I arrived at Kopp ...
Bakery load to Columbus
Finally back in Columbus after a very much stressful week at the eastcoast. My Thursday delivery of ice cream on Long Island was much delayed because of the previous delivery in Jamaica NY. When I was done I headed towards Vineland, but first a little pit stop at Loves in Bordentown for some f...
The banana room place
I'm back again in New Jersey, and this time it took me too a new place, the PFS in Elizabeth and Wakefern aka "the banana room place".
I was too tired yesterday so I called it a night at Walmart in King of Prussia. I left there this morning around 5:30 to make sure I could get to my fi...
Some 30 lights later
It must have been like 30 lights or so from the company yard in Olive Branch MS to my next customer, the US Cold Storage in Covington TN.
I got checked in on time last night for my Walmart delivery, but wasn't done before midnight, just after my 14 hour expired. There wasn't much...
Back to Jamesburg
Another trip back to Wakefern Foods here in Jamesburg NJ again, this time with a load from Abbott nutritions.
It got late last night so the little sleep I had felt amazing, even more amazing to pull in here tonight for some more sleep. They have overnight parking here. I will deliver t...
Dead tired
I was dead tired last night when I got to the customer in Aberdeen. I got done around midnight and slept some more over at Walmart. It was much needed, I could barely function when I woke up at 7.
I was going to start earlier, but no chance. I did however have hours to it, hours I'd ga...
What a day
I got some good sleep after my delivery last night, I went back to Diner 83 and slept until around 9. Woke up to a message from dispatch asking me to drop my empty at Abbott in Bethlehem.
After getting some food from the diner I started my trip up to Bethlehem to drop my trailer. It wa...
New England
It's been an interesting week with some trips up to the New England area. After my delivery in Connecticut on Wednesday I went back to Bethlehem PA for another load up to Medline in Uxbridge.
Uxbridge is a small place just a few miles south of Worcester and about 30 miles west of Bosto...
Going to Connecticut
Another Monday is done, didn't sleep too well last night because of a dog in the neighborhood spending his night out in 16 degrees. Poor pup! Was a lot of barking and woke up me around 2 am. I did however get back to ...
Deadhead to Tennessee
Last night I had to pay $20 for a parking spot at TA in Cartersville GA. In the late afternoon yesterday my load switched and I had to deadhead over to Covington Tennessee from McDonough GA. It's almost 500 miles.
Started this morning at 8:00 a.m. and drove pretty much straight to Covi...
Bensalem
Then I'm back at Bensalem again, finished my produce load in the Bronx last night, actually a little earlier than usual. Spent the night watching "don't fuck with cats" and had dinner. The show is dark but pretty good.
This morning I started just around 7 and went down to Qpsi in Flore...
Finally Friday
It's finally Friday again, ended my day early yesterday right after I dropped off the Siemens load. I was sitting at the yard all night watching Netflix, coding on the bicycle project, and eating pizza. It's wonderful not being paid by the miles, no need to worry about downtime. Only joy!
...Great day
Happy Monday, another week with more produce to New York City. Went to bed much earlier than usual last night so I could get up early and reset the house before I left. I succeeded!
Now at Dole again as you can see, waiting for my load to get done. They're usually done around 130...
The curve is not flattening
The curve that's supposed to flatten is just increasing here in New York City and the president wants to open the country very soon. Go figure. The numbers here are doubling every three days now and pretty much everyone I see around me is wearing masks.
You can feel the anxiety is stro...
Going to the hotspot
Another weekend down, but I literally only stayed home expect for a short trip to the grocery store.
No I'm back on the road again for another trip to New York City, but this will probably be my last one for a while until things gets better.
Just pulled over here at the r...
Same old, same old
Nothing new is going on here, still doing these New York City loads on Mondays and Tuesdays. My truck was turned in last week for body work, scheduled to be done when I arrived on Thursday, but it wasn't. Ended up in Indianapolis with a load dropped at Johnson & Johnson. I was supposed to ...
Kentucky
Got a load from Kentucky at the end of the week, with 3 stops. Two in Indiana and one in Michigan. Since I got here late I had to pay $76 late fee and they spent literally all day to load me.
Now it's almost 11 pm and in 45 minutes I've got an 8+2 split started and will head up to my f...
Hello again New York City
I'm back in New York City again after a long day on the road from Ohio. Started early this morning, picking up the usual load at Dole. Drove most of the day with just a couple of breaks. Once was actually just to get fuel. I also discovered a couple of retards drivers taking their break at the...
Axle alignment and b service
Well, the Dunkin donuts load to Ohio got canceled and replaced with a banana load from Gloucester City to Columbus instead. To me, that was a good deal. I also got called in for a B service and axle alignment.
Since I started out in the Bronx I didn't make it all the way back but made ...
Weekend work with issues
I was asked to work the weekend this time and I accepted. It was another produce load from Springfield Ohio to Hunts Point Market in the Bronx. I made it to the Delaware Water Gap on Saturday where I shut down. Drove the next 80 miles Sunday morning, starting 4 a.m.
I arrived at 6 a.m....
Watermelons
I had watermelons today, going from Gloucester to Jessup in Maryland. I started my day in the Bronx and headed down towards Philadelphia around 9 am.
On my way down I stopped at Love's in Bordentown for lunch. Just after noon, I arrived at the Del Monte in Gloucester City. I didn...
Hectic and stressful
These NYC loads are really busy and hectic. I miss my old loads to Spring City, those were the good times. Hopefully, they can find me something back there again soon.
Today I started about 4 hours from my 1st stop and was arriving 3 hours late. Thankfully next week I will ...
Another late night in Bronx
Another late night delivery in Bronx, just backed into their ramp and now waiting for them to come in at 6. They they won't be ready to work before closer to 7 anyway.
It looks like that big round trip with 2000+ miles in three days they gave me earlier today have been cancelled. It wa...
A long day
I woke up at 2 am this morning, feeling super tired. I showed up at Walmart security gate at 2:30 but was told I couldn't check in before 3:00 a.m. So I had no other choice than head back and wait another 30 minutes.
When I finally got in, the unloading itself was pretty fa...
Walmart DC Gordonsville
Started my day 8:30 from TA in Bordentown, filled up the 60 gallons required for free parking and headed down towards Gloucester City to pick up my banana load.
I arrived just in time, a few minutes before 10. Checked in and less than 20 minutes later I was assigned to a door. The bana...
Bordentown with Domino's
Done with the deliveries in New York, but didn't get out fast enough to make it down to pickup my banana load in Gloucester, so it got picked up by somebody else. Instead I got another banana load to Walmart in Gordonsville VA, picking up tomorrow from glouchester at 10 am. A real bummer being...
Boars Head is history
Back in NYC again and now it seems like this will be my route until something better comes up. My beloved route with Boar's Head deli to Spring City PA has been lost. It's really sad, it was a perfect route, but I'm crossing my fingers for something just as good to come soon. Until then I will...
To Bethlehem
I got a new dispatch this morning, a trailer from the Carlisle yard needs to be taken to Bethlehem PA. So I headed out of Bronx and towards Carlisle.
On my way down there they called me again and wanted me to take another trailer first, from the yard to a cold storage in Elizabethtown ...
Cliff bar baking company
Got the OS&D worked out this morning and now I got the cab full of small cups of frozen orange juice. 384 to be exact. I'll bring them home and drink them slowly.

Port Washington
Another trip to New York again this week. I was actually schedule for my regular route to Spring City. Oh well!

First load in 2020 was to deliver the candy from Mars in Joliet to Classic Impressions in Loveland Ohio.
Once I was down there I just had to head back up to the Knight Transportation yard in Columbus. Getting some new efta stickers for 2020 and a new alcohol permit.

Finally in Bronx
After a few hours delay I finally got my PO numbers right and I could continue my day. I'm finally here at Hunts Point market in Bronx. Rolled in the gate at 9 p.m.
Now I just have to stay here and wait until tomorrow morning where I will be unloading at 8 a.m. I currently don't have a...
First sign of Christmas
First sign of Christmas was early, seems like it's getting earlier for every year, but the first taste of Christmas was today after buying a box of gingerbread cookies at Walmart.
Now I like to bake, but it's been a while and every time I attempted to make gingerbread cookies they pret...
Another Monday going east
Another Monday and I'm heading east again after a snowy weekend in Dayton. At least from Sunday with more snow Monday afternoon. Driving conditions were ok, but snow started to accumulate on i70 in Indiana, got better at I reached into Ohio. No delays at all and no accidents either. So all in ...

It was a very short day yesterday, parked overnight at Walmart. Enjoying the evening with dinner and Netflix.

Back to Pennsylvania
After a day in New York I had finished my deliveries and spent the night at Hunts Point market.
The next day I found my way down to TMI trading in Brooklyn, at first a very intimidating place cause of the way you need to back in. 90 degrees from the street and into a garage. Not too mu...
Hello again
Not much have changed since my last entry, but it's time with an update anyway. Basically the only changes is that I now got a new truck.
Still doing my Boar's Head loads from New Castle to Spring City as usual and I love it. Wednesday after my drop is a little bit random from one week...
Back to Spring City again
Another week and I'm back to Spring City again with another Boars Head load. My previous load on Monday got cancelled so I had plenty of time to deliver this one, but first I needed to head into service in Columbus to fix my air condition. It now works and it feels great.
The customer ...

Spent the first two evenings in it cleaning all ...
Friendliest store in town ?
Early start today with a 5am appointment at Schnuks Distribution. I wasn't sure whether they had overnight parking or not here so I parked at Loves just 9 miles away last night.
When I got here they have a big parking lot with overnight parking just outside the gates. Good to kno...

My physical is about to expire in a couple of days so today after ge...
Fresh Express in Harrisburg
Was raining heavy last night in northern Florida on i95, decided it was time to call it a night, but I wasn't the only one thinking of that. All the rest areas were full, but without much choise to go any further I found a questionable spot there. Started this morning just before 8, but first ...
Back to Florida
On my way down to Russelville yesterday afternoon I ran into problems with my weekly 70 hour limit again, I've been to busy with the previous loads so I made it to a rest-area in Ozark AR. Spent my night there and took of next morning the last 50 minutes to Russelville and did my delivery. A l...

Now I'm here at Martin Brower in Pompano Beach FL. A little tight to get in and not much better inside, but why do I care ? I'm in Florida again! Got backed into door #5 and the guy came out and cut the bolt seal on my doors. An hour later I was empty and ready to head for my next pickup in Me...
Off to Virginia
Finally, I'm able to make an update to my logbook again after several weeks with nothing. I had a few trips since my last update, then I headed home for one-week hometime. Which was spent building a deck. I didn't quite finish, but I will do it next time.
I went back to work on the 27t...
Reset in Las Vegas
This Friday turned to shit, went with my dirty truck to Steamboat truckwash in phoenix to wash it. They charge more than $70 for a regular truck wash. Their cheaper option to $41 doesn't include any aluminum cleaning.
After I left I noticed my truck had streaks of soap and dirt all ove...
From Boise with layover in Vegas
Haven't been able to post much the last few days cause of my laptop having issues. Keyboard stopped working and even after removing the keyboard one key is still continuously repeating itself so it's not much to do. I suspect it to be a motherboard issue unfortunately.
I delivered a Bu...
Americold in Ontario OR
Got here early for my 1800 deliver appointment, but was told I didn't have an appointment so I went over to Pilot and spent a few hots there before they called me. They should work me in. At 20:00 they called and I went over there to get unloaded. About an hour later they were done and I...
San Diego in snow
Started out from Yuma AZ this morning with very little sleep due to Netflix watching and smartphone mania last night. Made my way almost to San Diego then I ran into some really slick roads, lots of melted snow that turned to ice and wet pavement that was frozen. It was the pass about 50...
Snowstorms
Parked last night at Petro in Wells NV after driving from Hermiston and loaded up in Caldwell. Kinda boring place and no signal on my cellphone didn't make it any better. Watched TV, found four local channels with just crap except from one with an old family guy cartoon.
Woke up next m...

Beef to Mexico
I'm back here again to try get this beef unloaded. Showed up at 8 like I was told to and waited for about 4 hours then they were ready. They were actually ready at the same time the other truck pulled in here so I guess that's the one taking it into Mexico. From what I understand when I talked...
Mexican trouble
I've got to the consigne on time today, but didn't help much cause they couldn't unload before they got approval from the customs in Mexico. They speak pretty much only spanish where I was, but they had one guy there they used to translate. Now I'm at the Pilot just 5 miles away waiting until ...

Finally in Las Vegas and I'm doing a reset, but don't seem to be any office people here today which means there won't be a van to borrow. I've been driving night for the last two days and I was supposed to drop this trailer last night, but they didn't accept any drops before Sunday...

Pine apples from Costa Rica to Columbus OH. The ship came in around 2200 and I checked in at 2330. Since all the pine apples has to be unloaded and inspected by US government its needless to say I was too early and my midnight appointment were going to be rescheduled. I went back to the truck ...

Meat for Forth Worth
Was almost out of hours yesterday and no idea where to park, both Loves and a TA down here in Forth Worth on I35 were packed. All the reserved spots were taken too. I managed to find a pretty nice independent truckstop where I paid $10 for parking, but it's worth it. Actually a great pla...
Shitty start of a new week

Wild Wild West Las Vegas
Ran out on my 70 hour today, still managed to do my two deliveries for Albertsons here in Las Vegas. Had to look through the whole week for unnecessary on-duty time to convert to off-duty. I still have all the pre-trip's and some other on-duty so I guess its all good. Now I'm just a few blocks...
