  1. Looks like a lot of layover pay for time at shipper (hopefully you were able to go to truckstop for at least part of the time) and I hope you get at least some detention pay for spending eight hours at the receiver.

    Was it a tight dock at the receiver or was there plenty of room to back in?

  2. I hope people of San Antonio really love their bologna. Steve gave extra extra effort in this delivery.

    • I worked at CUDAHY MEAT PACKING in Wichita, KS during the Holidays of 1972.
      We loaded an AWFUL lot of big, long 20lb boxes of Bologna “logs” w/a destination of El Paso.
      I worked there as a replacement worker for 2mos.
      Hams & Bologna logs were in big demand at that time.
      I loaded 2 – 3 trucks a week for 8wks. w/lots of Bologna.

  3. Happy Birthday 🎉 Steve

  4. Load of lunch meats? Wonder if any has listeria the way things are going today. Price Chopper closed deli due to Boars Head recall. They are triple cleaning all their equipment and pulled all opened meats and cheeses since they were sliced on the equip used for Boars Head. Yikes, where am I going to get my bologna?
