Monroe and Neptune
I had a two-stop delivery on this trip, the first was Costco in Monrow Township in NJ and the other was Restaurant Depot in Neptune. When I finally got unloaded in Neptune I had more stuff left on the truck. Somehow Costco hadn't unloaded all of it so I went back to Monroe to figure out ...
US Foods Seabrook
I started the day with a 7+3 split so I could make it to the shipper on time. I arrived just before my appointment and got assigned to a door immediately.
While waiting to get loaded the last half of my split sleeper birth was completed and just before 13:00 I was ready to go.
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...
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...
Late delivery in Quakertown
Was a great start to a new week, weekend was cut short because I decided to work Saturday.
This week I'm back in Quakertown and after here I'm heading up to Tyson in Pottsville for some frozen meat to Costco in Monroe township in New Jersey
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...
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...
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...
Romeoville
Finally made it up to AmerisourceBergen in Romeoville after a couple hours delay at the shipper.
I arrived at the destination at 18:30 and got unloaded quickly. It was no more than maybe 6 skids so it felt like driving an empty trailer.
The trip went smooth, roads were...
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.

Got to the shipper at 830, immediately put in a door and done by 10. A good start, b...

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 ...
Florida Produce
Picking up a load for Fresh Express here at TKM farms in Belle Glade FL now, worst customer service I've seen in a long time performed by the two girls in shipping and receiving. Got here on time, but still waiting. According to Google Map reviews of the location I may have a long wait ah...

With Pineapples from Galveston
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...

Waiting here at the Speedway, the closest place I could find to the shipper. My short trip load I wrote about yesterday got cancelled and I got a new and better going to Texas with three deliveries in Forth Worth. Much better and more miles, maybe I can save the week anyway.

Ita started well, managed to find a pretty new empty trailer at the yard in Columbus too. Went to the Cloverfield...
