Mr. Husky.. Hello from Eastern Washington.. K
Hello Beetlejuice, I Miss the Spokane, area
, I delivered to the Spokane area for almost 20 years. I have stayed literally HUNDREDS of nights at (what USED to be) the Comfort Inn, on North Division, I believe it became a Ramada Inn.
I am a Truck Driver, I started going to Spokane for a foodservice company, delivered to the Burger Kings, Arby's and Wendys for several years, then I started driving for a manufacturing Company that produced Foam, and it wasn't long before they started sending me to Spokane, delivered a LOT of Carpet pad over there, as well as furniture and bedding foam. Twilight Bedding and Columbia Furniture were two of my long time regular customers over there, also delivered often to Crossley's out in Newman Lake.There are a Lot of Great People out that way, some customers that I also considered Friends.
It's too bad, I didn't get to meet you while I was still running that way, it is always Fun to meet forum members in person. Business changed, I wasn't going that way much, then in the summer of 2016, the company sold our plant to another company
, the new outfit doesn't have their own trucks and drivers, but contracts through a logistics company, for their deliveries, the logistics company hired myself and our other driver to stay on dedicated to the same plant that we had been working out of, but it is NOT the same place that it once was
. What business we still handle in the Spokane market, is now delivered out of the Kent, WA. plant, I haven't been to Spokane in about 2 years now.
I also miss the White Elephant stores, man did they have some Awesome prices on sporting goods
, I would really be missing them if they were a Husqvarna dealer
.
Give me a shout if you ever get to the Portland, OR area, we are East of Sandy, and Portland on Mt. Hood,
Doug
