On My Own

10/25/2004

 
First day on my own! Whew, 5:00am start today. This is too early for me. I'm used to working later mornings and afternoons on the CSK account. This is going to take some getting used to. 

And these people I have to work with in the office?  Stranger yet.

Day One

My New Truck! High Class
An ORANGE Truck! Thank you Lord! Starting training/familiarization at Reckitt Benckiser. I'll be here for a week with the current yard hostler and then will start on my own next Monday. Friday is his last day.

Anyone who has hauled out of Phoenix sometime during 2002-2003 will probably have memories of Reckitt Benckiser in Tolleson.

Reckitt Benckiser (Wreck-It Ben-Keezer) is the parent company of AirWick, Lysol, Resolve, French's (Foods) and a couple of others. They are famous for their 40,000lbs+ loads going to central California and the Pacific Northwest. I don't know a pumpkin driver who didn't loath a load out of there on a Monday afternoon, or any other time for that matter.

Due to changes and competition, SNI is no longer the primary carrier for RB. RB loads are brokered to the lowest bidding carrier. Usually it's McKelvey, US Express, O&S Trucking or Werner. Occasionally a pumpkin will come around.

Starting next week, I will be the ONLY SNI driver on the RB account.  Whew, such responsibility.

    From Oct, 2004 thru Dec 2005, I was the Yard Goat driver at RB Phoenix.
