Wow! Western Express got hit hard - what a mess! It's a miracle nobody got killed at the terminal. Good grief that looks bad!
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
I drove right through all that on my way to MO... glad i didnt see any of that... or i would have been terrified.
I had no idea what happened yesterday, I was sitting waiting for a load. We received a mass message about what happened and that they are slowly getting things up and running again. I was able to get a load from Virginia to New Hampshire but no fuel plan. Without a fuel plan I cannot use the company card to get fuel. Thankfully the route to the cosignee goes directly through my state so I am sitting at home until I get a fuel plan. I am glad nobody at Western was hurt.
