Finally get home

It is so nice to finally be home again! I don't have kids to come home to like Steve does but after awhile it gets old being gone so much.

On the 26th of Feb my dispatcher calls me at home and tells me my other driver has got hung up in Phoenix and won't make in in till friday, can I take another truck and go out that day and when I get back to town get back in my truck? Ok, not happy with the plan but I do need to make some money and it ain't happin' setting home! So the guy in the other truck( sister truck to mine 2488) fianlly gets in and moves his stuff out. Filthy dirty stink'n truck! A pig sty. So I got the wipey's out and wiped down what I had to touch and left out for Prewitt, NM. Made my delivery there in the morning and reloaded at the other end of building for Mesquite, TX. Delivered that load the next morning and went down to Corsicana, Tx for a Home Depot load to Colo. Spgs.. Ended up dropping that load in the yard and left out for Mira Loma, CA as soon as I got in. Dropped that load tuesday morning as it didn't deliver till wed morning and reloaded off the dock in Port Heuneme, CA. That was interesting, they were unloading a Del Monte ship on the back side of the building and loading us on the other side! The boat was late getting in and it was a mess, over a hundred trucks waiting to load banannas. I got that load delivered without an appt and reloaded for Mira Loma again. I was so tried I only made it to Cameo and went to bed. Got beeped in the morning wanting to know if I could help them out of a jam. A driver with a FedEx load got put out of service at the Loma, Co scales and they needed me to hurry over there and relay the load. They had checked his logbook against the computer and found out he had crossted a scale and not logged it. So off to Salt Lake City I go. Delivered that one and picked up another load of Home Depot and headed back to Denver. Three drops later and I'm my way to CA for the third time! This time I made it all the way and Mira Loma has yet another beer load in their yard! I got a Pottery Barn load coming back and delivered it wedsday. When they asked me what I wanted to do I told them "go home"! If they aren't going to do what you ask, why bother? Off to Omaha for thur and down to KC to reload Toys R Us for friday in Westminster, CO.

So I was gone 2wks and 2 days and drove somewhere over 8600 miles. Now that is what you call a nice paycheck!! And with b-day coming up Sue bought me a reallllly nice GPS gor the truck! A Garmin nuvi 350. Score!!

Later...
