Miles Today: 490
Oops! I've delayed too long before getting to blogging, so I'll have to make this relatively quick. At least this time I was out getting some walking exercise, which led to my late start on this report. But I'll get right to it.
- Up at 4:15 this morning in Waco to cop a shower and shave before starting work at 5:00.
- Drove 4 hours before stopping for breakfast at the Carl's Jr. inside a Love's truck stop so I could grab one of my favorites, the Steak & Egg Burrito. (Add a packet of their salsa and it's to die for! But I digress.)
- Drove 2 more hours to reach the terminal in Laredo to drop off my loaded trailer.
- Then had a couple-hour wait 'til my next assignment came in. (I actually had to hit the road and drive around town a bit to get the messages "un-stuck" and hit my Qualcomm box. Messages have a bad habit of not coming in to a stationary truck.)
- My new assignment is to grab a load from the Laredo lot and haul it to its destination in Russellville, KY, due on Tuesday.
- Grabbed the trailer and drove over to the Laredo TA to weigh my truck on their scales
- Proceeded back north to the Love's where I had stopped for breakfast and have stopped here for the night, as my 14-hour driving window was getting short.
So that's how my day went, at least the notable points. 'Twasn't quite so hot today, but still plenty warm to have the AC running full-time in the truck. How nice it is to drive in cool comfort instead of being all sweaty and sticky.
Alas, I do need to sign off now and get to bed. Thanks for following along, and keep on truckin'.
