Complete
The longest and most problem filled trip in my career is completed. We managed to stay legal, stay safe, and stay just ahead of several winter storms. Take the rest of the day off. As soon as I hear about out next trip, I’ll post it.
Houston
Morning. It was an early start this morning as we rolled into Houston. As expected, we hit rush hour and showed up late but we are in a door and unloading right now. When we get done here we have one last delivery to make on the Northside of town. Man, I will be so […]
Little Rock
Morning to ya! Well this trip is one scheduling disaster after another! We arrived at our third delivery and are waiting for a door now. After this is done we will head on down to Houston for the last two deliveries. I will be so glad when this trip is finally completed!
Memphis
Welcome to the Memphis area. The roads opened and the temperature got above freezing so we ventured out again. A few slow spots along the way due to rolled over big rigs…but not too bad. We stopped here with less than half an hour on our 14 hour limit. No word yet on when our […]
Shutdown
Good morning. Well, we had a slim shot of making this third delivery today…but now that chance is gone. The latest they receive deliveries is noon. If everything went smoothly, we were projected to be there about 1130am. Guess what? I have been watching the winter weather get closer and just before a truckstop, I […]
Delivery Two
Morning! We are currently unloading at our second delivery. I hated to get up at midnight and start working! I do have to admit it sure is nice with no traffic, clear roads, and nothing to worry about with night driving. Sure you have to keep an eye out for deer and other assorted critters, […]
Cornflakes
Good morning gang! The first delivery went as planned but they only had 204 cases and they still managed to stretch it out to two hours! Oh well, delivery one accomplished. So, we headed out and drove through the night in the mountains and slick snow and freezing drizzle. We just got here to Wytheville, […]
Getting closer!
Good Sunday Morning! Well, here we sit on day number three, but at least we will be moving tonight! Our delivery is set for 11pm tonight and it is only 200 cases! Heck, I could have just set them by their door! LOL After delivery we will drive some towards North Carolina. Our appointment there […]
Dreary
Dreary day here this morning. Not much going on. Hate to say it but looks like we are going to be stuck with this load. The first delivery customer is closed until 11pm Sunday night!! They are calling for snow and ice here later today. So I guess just watch the truckstop from my windshield […]
Ooooooooo
Good Friday morning! Well we sat on the shippers property until they put us in a door about 6pm and we were released about 8pm. The first delivery we had was supposed to be delivered by 230am this morning but it was very tight timewise. The biggest problem then became we had to do an […]
Half hour
Morning and welcome to our thirty minute break. We started about 130am this morning and made our way to downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for our final delivery. Man, it sure was tight maneuvering through those skinny streets! I am glad it was so early so I had no other traffic to worry about since I had […]
Ohio
Ok we made our delivery this morning and our next one is near downtown Pittsburgh very early tomorrow morning….
