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...
Quakertown
Arriving a little earlier today because I was supposed to pick up a load back to Washington Courthouse from Vineland New Jersey at the same time as my delivery appointment here.
I just assumed that since the pick up time was the same as the delivery appointment from a different locatio...
Short trip
Shortest trip in a long time. Was supposed to be preloaded, but they had no trailers so it turned into a live load. This was not good cause what would normally be a perfect time of arrival turned into late arrival which means work in.
5 hours later i was done and headed ...
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 ...
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...
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...
Burris part 2
I started this morning at 1 AM from Walmart in King of Prussia, Then headed up to the US cold storage in Hazelton to pick up my preloaded trailer going back to Burris in Harrington.
On my way up there it started to snow and it was a little white blanket down the road but didn't last ve...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
Performance foods
Finally made it to my destination here at Performance Food Services in Montgomery IL. I started later than normal yesterday. I was going to pick up a preloaded trailer in Streetsboro OH at 16:00.
I arrived at the destination around 1500 and the trailer was already done. I guess I could...
Such a long day
This has been a long day. After getting unloaded at Sysco in Jamesburg today I was notified that they refused two pallets of nutrition bars, 520 boxes to be exact.
I called the os&d to let them know and was waiting to find out what the shipper would like to do about it. 2 hours lat...
Saturday work
I worked this weekend, was a great day with a blue sky and sun. Started from home around 8, went to pick up my preloaded trailer in Lockbourne OH. I arrived at the customer, but the trailer wasn't really preloaded after all.
After a little less than an hour I was ready to go, but...
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...
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...
Wonderful day
Another wonderful warm day here in northern Pennsylvania. I'm now at the US Cold Storage in Hazleton PA picking up a preloaded trailer going to C&S in Aberdeen MA. Not a long ride at all. Appointment is at 18:00. The receiving customer is average, but usually works out well. A nearby Walma...
Port Washington
Another trip to New York again this week. I was actually schedule for my regular route to Spring City. Oh well!
Started late today, was waiting at home for a guy to give me an estimate on insulating the house, but he got late so i rescheduled for next Monday instead.
Then I hea...
Carbondale to Joliet
After my New York deliveries I went straight over to Carbondale PA to pickup a load from Millennium Packaging services going to Mars at the DHL plant in Elwood IL.
The trailer was as usual preloaded and I was very surprised there were people there at 6pm on a Saturday. Hooked up the tr...
Boar's Head
Got late with my ice cream load to Kroger. Checked in at 5:30am and left 9:30pm. Had just enough time or maybe a little short on time for my next load.
It was a preloaded trailer at Boar's Head in New Castle Indiana and i made it over there around midnight, checked in and got the...
Ice cream to Kroger
Been doing the ice cream loads all week and paychecks are looking great and I'm home every weekend. My choice was right. This is great.
Today my load was late and I've been waiting for a door since 5:30am. Time now is 4:30pm, got a door an hour ago, but haven't started unloading ...
Jersey City
Picked up a preloaded trailer from the Indy yard yesterday, then drove to Dayton for an hour break at home. Left towards Columbus for my fuel stop then continued towards Carlisle where I shut down for the night.
Started at 0600am this morning from Carlisle, took 81 North then 78 over t...
From Cali to Oregon
A little late because I decided in the last minute to do an inspection on my truck at the Fontana yard, but there were no problems or delays at the receiver because of it so I'm good.
It's crazy tight and busy in here, probably one of the worst places I've been to. Now just got into a ...
Hit and run victim
Someone performed a little hit and run on me yesterday. I was unable to get their info cause by the time I got outside I saw him disappear. Called the police and filled a report, but chances to find the guy were slim. It was only minor damages on my driver side mirror.
Picked up my pre...
Hershey Chocolate then home
Home time is getting closer, just a couple more days or two trips more and I'm home. Just delivered the Hershey load tonight and now outside Walmart doing my sleeper birth.
Picking up a preloaded trailer tomorrow from Fresh express going to Food Lion in Greencastle. It's just 62 miles,...
Donuts for the people!
Parked and went home after my delivery at Wal-Mart yesterday. Spent a few hours at home before heading back to work this Sunday morning. Was heading for Mt Holly NJ. Picked up a preloaded trailer at the terminal and went straight here. Now about 11 hours later I'm parked on the street. Lo...
Beer to Wichita
I reached Houston today. Was 2 hours short on my hours last night. Appointment at 2100 so no need to rush cause they wouldn't let me in earlier than 2030 anyway. I checked in around that time and was done at 2am. Went a couple of blocks to Budweiser and picked up a preloaded trailer to Wichita...
Cartoons in Carlisle
Now at the Knight Transportation yard in Carlisle watching cartoons on tv. Have a preloaded trailer to Delaware in the morning. Then bobtail back.
Dryvan to Macy's
Went to Walmart in Smyrna DE today, then bobtailed back to the Carlisle yard to pick up an preloaded trailer going to Macys in CE. Runned out of hours to get there in time so I pulled off to a rest area here on I84. Will start at 0500am in the morning. Good night!!
