Indiana, Kentucky, Texas

Picked up a load from a packaging company in Ft. Wayne and took to a Kelloggs plant in Kimper, KY. It is out in the coal country of SE Kentucky about 10 miles out of Pikeville. It was a drop there as is all their inbound loads. Since it is so far off the beaten path, we normally get a load out of there going somewhere else. Just may have to wait a day for it to be loaded. We unloaded early and had to wait 24 hours for our load out. It went down near Athens, GA. It did not deliver until Monday night and this was Saturday, so they let me drop it at the Marietta, GA terminal. That would have been a long wait on a 360 mile load if they hadn't.

We next went down to LaGrange, GA and picked up a load from Kimberly Clark going to Kimberly Clark in Paris, TX. From there down to Mt Vernon, TX with a load out of a Lowe's distribution center going to a Lowe's store in Midland, TX. We are now under a JIT (just in time) load of plastic bottles going to a Coca Cola plant in Oklahoma. It is a load that has to be delivered at a specific time because they take it off the truck and send it straight into the production line. You miss one of these appointments you really upset the apple cart. Everyone gets upset. So I will try to keep everyone happy.
