Best best about that particular GP account/route is you learn what is expected at each customer since you mostly deal with paper customers. When you get the trip info make sure you put both the shipper and receiver addresses in you GPS address book cause you will see them again and again.

Biggest thing i can think of right now is watch out when you get a load going to Big Island VA, There is only only way into the plant and that is on US 130. Never go south on 501. $375 fine if you do. Get detailed instructions BEFORE heading to Big Island.

Of course that is a way from Roanoke VA but mostly used that route leaving GP in Big Island cause I always came from the north out of Pennsylvania

Thanks for the advise Guy. After talking to Dave yesterday I got the same impression, laid back. If I need anything I will let you know.

First run is pickup in Richmond Va to Pennington AL, then pickup in Pennington going to Bentonville AR.

Going into Pennington you must be picking up at Sonoco , scrap paper bales. If that's the case then you will be getting right around 42k to 44 k. They know how to load it right. Slide tandems to the California 40' mark and you should be good go.

Lol matter of fact in the year and a half I was on that account I only scaled out about 3 times and that was because of a new customer or two I was unsure of. Those paper loaders know their business for the most part.

As it turns out, I went to the GP plant in Pennington. I dropped the load of pallets I picked up in Richmond VA and went up the road to their staging lot and picked up a loaded trailer with Toilet Paper heading to Bentonville AR to the Walmart DC there.

If ya like real southern cooking then try the lunch plates at the small truck stop. The truck stop is not much to look at but nothing beats fresh catfish and turnip greens and cornbread.
