A friend is visiting

This was a fun weekend and the week is too. My old friend from Norway is visiting me and he is joining me over the road for a few days. He arrived in Dayton on Saturday, unfortunately, the great weather we had last week is gone, but visiting the Air Force Museum in Dayton never goes wrong.

Wakefern Foods

Arrived at Abbott in Bethlehem around 8 last night, checked in for my next day pickup, but I'm always lucky at this place and get it around 20-21:00, so an hour later I was on my way to Jamesburg NJ.

Wakefern food has overnight parking and only half the lot were filled at 23:00. The lu...

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....

Just 80 miles

I arrived 2 hours ahead of my appointment on this load and was greeted by a very friendly security girl down at Dreyer's Great Ice Cream.

 3 hours later, they had a door for me. I tried to reach it by using PC/yard move, but the dumb Sonar was able to screw that.

Thankfull...

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...

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...

2 hours delayed

I got two hours delay today because the trailer was not pre-loaded. I should have called and checked if they had the trailers earlier this morning but hindsight is always 20/20.

I did however meet a friend, who's also a truck driver here in the states. He's driving for Prime. We decide...

Wash line

Then I'm in the washing line at Blue Beacon here in Bordentown after delivering to quick stops in New York City yesterday. The day went fast up there and I spent the night here in Bordentown. I just got up at 7 the wait is long.

I haven't had any updates on my blog lately, simply becau...

Another pharma load

Another load from Siemens to Siemens with vials. This is a standard load back to the Midwest or Plainfield Indiana where it's actually going. It's a good load and don't weigh much more than 14,000 lbs. Axles all the way to the front and let's roll. 

The location in Newark where we...

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...

Just 10 miles away from my previous load I'll be picking up my next load going to Wal-Mart in Hermiston, OR.

This is a nice and friendly place with a scale to weigh your axles before your leave. And it's free!

Good thing they had cause my trailer was too heavy in the front, eve...

I got my load to Frito Lay delivered and dropped, then I spent most of the day at the Knight Transportation yard in Salt Lake City. 

Headed up to Logan to pick up my next load to Walmart in Las Lunas NM. On my way up there it was pitch black and heavy rain. 

The shipp...

Belingham Cold Storage

Then we are here, but not on time. Appointment was 11:30 and we checked in 12:20. Now it's 15:15 still parked by the curb waiting for a door. The first impression of this place was great, friendly people and ready to check in and get done.

Earlier today we completed the long trip we ha...

I was of cour...
