1st Week On Dedicated Georgia Pacific Account (GP)

Finished the first week on this account yesterday.

I have to say I have been kept pretty busy except for Sunday when I sat all day because they could not find an empty trailer for me. I started out of the house on Wednesday morning, went to Richmond VA to pickup a load of pallets that went to Pennington AR.

Picked up in Pennington (same place that I delivered to) going to Bentonville AR to the Walmart DC there. From Bentonville went to Ft Smith AR going to Roanoke TX (north side of Ft Worth). The receiver had 1 empty trailer that had one of the back doors ripped off and so that is why I had so much trouble finding an empty trailer. Finally got an empty trailer headed to Crossett AR to pickup a load going to Claremont NC.

From Claremont I went to Greensboro NC picked up a load going to Big Island VA (boy that place is a lot of fun getting into/out of). From there I dead headed home yesterday. I will be going out again on Sunday. I pick up in Richmond VA again (different place this time) heading to Crossett AR again.

Sure hope they keep me moving going forward like they did this last week.

Nice! Dedicated accounts like that can be awesome. Once you get to know the people and how everything works it's gravy.

That really sounds like a great situation Ernie! Hope it continues to be what you need.

I had to chuckle at the mention of Big Island. It's a bit off the beaten path, to say the least. :-) But at least they have a nice truck parking area to shut it down for a 10, if need be...

Great news Ernie. I 'm running for them at my company. Been on it 5 months . Have you had to deliver at the bottom of the hill in Big Island yet? Thats a treat. Lol. Maybe we'll cross paths some time. I delivered in Pennington last night and just finishing my break. I have been staying busy enough I burn through my entire 70 hr clock in 6 1/2 days most weeks. I usually make 2-3 runs a month to Canada from the south. Stay safe

PJ,

I am presently just south of McDonough GA at the Flying J exit 201, delivered there this afternoon & will pickup there in the morning. Never know when/where our paths will cross. The fact that both of us are on the same account (just different Co's) I am sure we will meet at some point.

By the way, what is your truck #? Mine is 326763.
