On the Road Again

12/14/10

A full week of "Waitin' in Memphis" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no_NXlLf34Eand )we are now "On the Road Again." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TD_pSeNelU)  A load offer came in to take a shipment of tire inlays from Little Rock AR to Tonawanda NY. We were excited to have such a great load. We swapped last night at 11:00 p.m. in Nashville TN due to limited driving hours.

In bed by midnight, which meant ten hours of rest, then shower and pray for a load. It was great talking to you this morning, Mom!

Well today, we headed to Kentucky to pick up a headliner from a plant in Hopkinsville KY and taking it to the Ford plant that makes SUV's in Louisville. This is a good paying load and good distance. We were supposed to pick up the load at 3 a.m. and deliver by 8 a.m. However, we were able to negotiate with dispatch and the company to pick it up early, and then get to Louisville tonight, so we weren't driving in the snow and ice.

I'm glad we are finally getting some loads, it makes the days easier when you are working toward something and not dwelling on the stress of anticipation.
