Long Layover in Dallas

June 1, 2021 by chito

I arrived at the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Dallas hoping to deliver sometime Sunday morning. I waited in the long line of trucks that snaked all the way out to Frontage Road. How could this be? Was I even n the right line? I parked my truck and bolted by 30+ trucks to check in at the guard shack. "What's your ASA number?" the guard asked. I scanned the BOL, couldn't … [Read more...] about Long Layover in Dallas

Mavericks Hero

May 31, 2021 by chito

My Atlanta Hawks beat the Knicks to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference first round. Now it was time to root for another 5th seed to upset the 4th in the Western Conference. It was great to be at the American Airlines Arena for Game 4 of the playoff series with the Clippers. Even though I'm not a big Mavs fan, I love the game of basketball - it's fast paced, a lot … [Read more...] about Mavericks Hero

Rice to Meet You

April 18, 2021 by chito

Rice to Meet You may not seem that inviting from the outside, but once you come in and try their assortment of clay pot dishes, you'll be impressed by how fresh and tasty they are. I returned to Chinatown after been gone for a year and parked at the Yun-Lu Center. Started out with coffee and WIFI at the Blk Dog Cafe Then my obligatory visit to H-Mart before settling down … [Read more...] about Rice to Meet You

Dyess AFB, Texas

April 27, 2020 by chito

The military is operational and open for business again. Must be since I delivered a stack of flatbeds to Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, TX. Hopefully, the military will allow movement of service members soon. The flatbeds are durable and rugged and manufactured by Dorsey Trailers in Elban, AL. This is the first time I used ratchet straps to secure a trailer. I found … [Read more...] about Dyess AFB, Texas

Weathered Wear on my Steer

April 26, 2020 by chito

I was at the shipper in Alabama when one of the technicians who was cleaning up the parking lot noticed uneven wear on my steer. Good thing he pointed it out to me, cuz I never would have noticed - I'm not so observant on my pre-trips. And I didn't notice my ride getting any bumpier. Sure enough the tread on the outer toe of my driver's steer was as worn as a trampled … [Read more...] about Weathered Wear on my Steer

Dallas – JFK

April 9, 2020 by chito

There's no river or sea, just a desert in Dallas. Big D is the home of the Cowboys, not the Mariners. Unlike it's sister city to the south, it has no container port, and it's not a major hub for anything except maybe trucking, trains and Uber. But one thing Dallas is known universally for is the most infamous assassination in modern history, and one that has altered the … [Read more...] about Dallas – JFK

After I retired from the Navy, I attended George Washington University to earn my MBA. I left with a diploma, and with a food tech startup called RUNINOut. Our goal was to add as many restaurants, stores and attractions to the directory and after running it for five years, I felt I had oversaturated the local Washington, DC market. It was time to take RUNINOut on the road. In order for my startup to grow, I had to add more restaurants – that meant getting outside the Beltway and exploring the highways and byways in small town suburbia. I bought a truck and drove cross-country for two years. Here's my adventures in the Washington, DC area and beyond.
