Back to Quakertown
Feels like summer is coming, but not really. It's still early April, but weather out here is amazing today.
Arrived to the customer around 14:30, still waiting as I type this, but there's no stress.
I'm picking up a preloaded trailer from the Bensalem drop yard late...
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.
$10 for a shitshow
This was a last-minute load that was served me Wednesday morning on my way to deliver the bakery products from Norwalk OH. I was originally going to the port for bananas to Columbus OH, but this one was after all equally good and since I was the only driver around I didn't have much choice.
Tennesse Ice Cream
I got ice cream back to Ohio for T-call at the yard. I just arrived at the yard and will start my weekend in a few. I started early yesterday so didn't make it far, but I got to Smithon and parked on the shoulder just outside Speedway. Did the remaining of a 3+7 split sleeper and started Satur...
Double turkey
I did an extra trip with turkey meat to the dog food factory in Quakertown this week, I got back to Ohio relatively early so I figured I'd ask for this and also add an extra day on my paycheck. Else I would end up doing some local stuff in Ohio or Indiana. Ugh, I hate Indiana!!
Unfortu...
Krasdale Foods
I got a different load this week, The location was Krasdale foods in the Bronx New York.
The appointment was at 9 AM from Abbott in Columbus, but I showed up on Sunday night instead, cause I didn't want to drive early the next day.
To my surprise, they loaded me up immed...
Uxbridge
Today I'm back in Uxbridge for a delivery at BJ's wholesale. I picked up the load last night from Abbott in Bethlehem PA, after my delivery in Quakertown. I decided to go all the way up here last night, so I could get around the morning traffic. I arrived here at 00:30, and my deliveries today...
Walmart WCH
Long day for sure, started from King of Prussia this morning around 8:30. Headed down 76 towards Philly and over to Gloucester NJ to pick up bananas. Arrived an hour later and checked in.
Now all that was left was to wait wait and wait. Just after 14:00 i was assigned to a door t...
Costco mess
Got a request to bring a dropped load from the PA yard to Costco for delivery at 5:30 am this morning. My other load wasn't to be loaded up before much later so I could as well do it.
Arrived at Costco last night, parked on the shoulder after the toll booth as you always do here, heade...
Back from Virginia
I finally made it back from Virginia to the company yard in Columbus Ohio. The load was to be dropped there for another driver that'll be taking it to Utah.
It was a long day yesterday finding my way back to Ohio from Virginia, but the trip was fine, I did however have some probl...
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 ...
Bananas back to Ohio
I picked this banana load up Friday morning and I was back in Ohio around 8 PM the same day.
I had to Saturday off, but I left home around 11:30 PM and headed down to the Washington Courthouse where I'm at right now. When I got here I had a couple of hours of sleep then I checked in an...
Air leak
Soon after I drop my trailer down in Harrison I noticed an air leak coming from my truck. It was definitely not from the trailer or the seal on the glad hands.
I drove up to the company yard in Columbus and had to shop take a look at it and it seemed to be the brake chamber.
Un...
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...
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...
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...
Produce to Boston
The two stop load I picked up in Hazleton Wednesday morning have been successfully delivered. I must say night driving is definitely not for me. I'm currently in Chelsea MA, a city in Suffolk county, directly across the mystic river from the city of Boston. Just ran out of my 14 hours an...
Escaping from rain
Had a good sunny weekend, was able to buy a polisher and a grinder so hopefully, I can start polishing the rims on the truck next week. It's really needed. I got up early Monday morning to get ready for another week on the road. The day was gloomy with grey clouds and it was pouring down. I le...
Conklin NY
Lineage logistics is not a new customer, but Conklin NY is definitely a new place in the middle of nowhere. More exactly a couple of hours north on I81 from Hazleton PA.
I wasn't much in a rush today either, but I did move from the Plymouth mall to Walmart in KoP to replenish my ...
A chill day
A pretty chill day I must say. Started this morning in Monroe Township NJ delivering the Tyson product to Costco on Costco Drive, checked in, and did all that stuff you do there. Was immediately assigned to door #144 and 2 hours later I was done and could leave.
My next dispatch howeve...

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 ...
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...
Wakefern in Jamesburg
Another week but no Quakertown this time, unfortunately. I did however get back east and this time to Wakfern in Jamesburg. I've been here a few times before and it's easy to get to. The place has overnight parking, high lumper fees, and tight spots, especially if you get here at the wrong tim...

I arrived early at Simmons in Quakertown on Tuesday. Slept really well last night and the day tur...
Siemens Delaware
Got waked up by a phone call early this morning, I should have turned the volume down I guess. I do however use the wind-down and sleep monitoring on my phone, but they called just after 6 which is outside the window.
There was a driver unable to pick up his load from Siemens, I've don...
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 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 in Dayton
Back in Dayton today. I got my load of bananas loaded up in Wilmington yesterday at 17:00, unfortunately, a couple of hours late.
This made my 14-hour clock cut me off too early, but I did my best trying to get to Columbus. I pulled over at the big rest area in Hebron, 30 minutes...
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...
York
Started off this morning from the company yard in Carlisle, but first, it was time for a truck wash. It's been a few weeks since the last, which is well overdue and also pretty embarrassing, I really dislike a dirty truck.
Made my way over to Quakertown with my newly washed truck, thou...
Warmer weather
It was warmer weather in Dayton today, in the low 40, which is great after all these cold days.
