Washington Court House ,Ohio.

Would Chillicothe Road and US 35 be the same? I'm looking for the Walmart Distribution Center.will be there Sunday morning 7:00am and then on to Liberty tothe Kroger Distriburtion Center on road 14 for 11:00am. Is there a truck stop or a place park over night Saturday? Hope to have time for a coffee and talk tractors.
My last drop is the DC for Wallyworld at Wintersville at the gosh forsaken time of 3:16am Monday morning, up for breakfast , again any place to park a big truck.
Can't over night at any of the DC's. Thanks for any info.
 
Roaddevil: The Walmart distribution center is just north of Route 35/four lane, not business 35, Eastern side of Washington Court House. Take route 753 exit and go north. Then turn right( South-East) on Old Chillicothe Road. The Distribution Center will be on your right.

As for truck stops. There is nothing in Washington Court house. Just ten miles or so west, to where 35 crosses I-71, there is a Loves and TA there. The exit is #65 on I-71
 
Once again, not much place at Wintersville to park either. There is a fuel stop about a mile from the DC but can only park 15-20 trucks at the most. 50/50 chance of finding a parking place. I usually stop in the Cambridge area on I70. Have to allow extra time to finish the trip. Curvy road and intermittent fog a large part of the time.
 
Preacher Man, there use to be a good large t/s at Cambridge but has since closed. Most Pilots are joke as far as parking, thier aditude is get your fuel and get out. Thank you for the info. Dane.
 
Wally World wants you there on time, refuses entrance if you come early...or late. They should at least provide a staging area for trucks. Trucking doesn't run like a subway!
 
Is the Kroger Distribution the one by Delaware, Ohio? If so there is a Flying J at US36 and I71.
 
Good question,the atlas I checked before leaving home had a Liberty Center in the n w part of Ohio, but no Liberty. Given the difference between appointment times, it's got to be fairly close to Washington C H.
Playing with a new g p s,it's very tempermental until I figure it out, kind of like being married.
 
Is this the Krogers?
6893 Co Rd 14, West Liberty, OH 43357?
That 4 letter W word is important.
35 to Xenia, 68 north to 33.
If dispatch doesn't provide a phone number get on their backside about it.
 
68 north through west liberty. There will be a long left curve, you should see them to your left, across from a retirement community. Think it's county road 189, turn left, entrance on the right.

Google is our friend.
If your directions don't make sense, use Google maps satellite view.
 
I only went into Wintersville once, it's actually closer to Stuebenville.
What I did was take 70 to the state line then route 7 up to 22 west, then route 43 north. Seems to me 7 is mostly other-4-lane and wasn't bad running. By the time you go over and around the hills and through the towns on 22 you probably don't save a bit of time or fuel.

Use your camera at Wal-Mart. Take a picture of the trucks in front of you as you pull into the drive. McClenny, FL was horrible at getting trucks through the gate. Took an hour when I was the fourth truck in line. Over an hour late to the window, wanted to turn me away. "I can show you a picture with (such a company's) trailer number at the gate showing I was on the property and in line on time" changed their tune.

I used to deliver hamburger to Wendy's restaurants from the plant in Columbus (this in 1977, I remember because I'd hear the first Star Wars movie ads on the radio). My brother and I split the route, I'd go Monday, he's go Weds. etc. We'd deliver every other day so down there so the stores got enough for two days, or extra for the weekend with the Friday deliveries. Everyone of them had a sign on the door that no deliveries accepted between 11:00 and 1:00, essentially the lunch rush. We left the plant early in the morning and ran a route, our day was about 12 hrs. long because we delivered every store there in a day, long days and didn't have time to mess around.

At times there would be a hot-shot manager on duty, following the company line, that when we'd bang on the door and say "Village Packing" they would say "... have to come back, not accepting deliveries". We'd say OK, see you Weds. or Friday or whatever was two days away, and turn and walk away. It would quickly hit them they would be out of hamburger by the end of the day and run out after us and let us make the delivery. Our manager (who was a drunk and a real SOB otherwise) would back us up when the regional manager called him and complained about deliveries at lunch time. We would run the route in reverse some times so we weren't catching the same stores at lunch rush.
