Sooooo happy to be home
I am so happy to be home it is unbelievable! Greg flew out the 20th I believe for Atlanta to spend christmas with Heather and family and I left for Salt Lake City.Got there and unloaded and reloaded and headed home. I call the office to see what I was doing next and they told me to go home. That's great...except 1000 miles a week won't pay many bills! I was told freight was slow and people that were going to run over christmas were being sent home it was that slow. Great. Got back into Denver saturday morning and my qualcom beeps and they have a load in the yard for Sioux Falls, SD that delivers on the 24th. Be really really careful what you wish for!! I was the one complaining about not enough miles so how can you turn this down? So I went to Sioux Falls and unloaded and reload in the building next door! Was back christmas morning but Sue had left town for Scott's already so no point in coming home so picked up my load for Portales, NM(new empty Coke cans). Raton pass was having a damn blizzard up their and I couldn't believe that Monument and Raton scales were open on christmas day! Jerks! I couldn't find the off ramp on top of the pass so just turned off and headed for the scale house. Had 481 miles of blinding, blowing ice and snow but made it in time. They took the cans off and loaded me up with energy drink and I was on my way to San Antonio, TexASS for the next morning. I asked for a routing because I'm not formilar with that country and out off 500 I only had 100 of interstste driving. Had to run "puckerbrush" most of the way. Made that one and headed for Houston to reload beer the next morning. Had a dry van and needed a reefer so drove all over Houston trying to find one. Loaded in Houston noon the 28th and delivered that load in Denver new years eve the 31th. They sent me a message while unloading for a load going to Parsons, KS byt I called them and told them enough was enough! Ohhh, how long have you been out, have you done your 4 days yet? DAH! So I finally gone to come home...missed my annivarsary, missed christmas(although I had a wonderful christmas dinner of a can of beans and peanutbutter cheese crackers) and almost missed the new year. I was so tired couldn't stay awake for it anyway.
Talked to Greg this morning and asked him where they were sending him. Quess where? Parsons, KS!!! Truck wasn't out off the shop from serving just before noon and he had 600 to go today! Oh well, I had my turn and now it's his. Will propably go out again sunday.
That is it. Later...
