    Wow. Yesterday. 4.
    Not a tremendous amount of miles. 176 official.
    It freaking RAINED in the Houston area.
    Because my AC is long dead it made driving less than fun.
    I started home at 5:30. 59 was closed above Cleveland.
    2025 had water over the road but was passible.
    Got to the Shell Station that is roughly 4 miles from the turn into the neighborhood. And in all the time we've lived here it has never flooded where it did about a half mile up from Shell. Went the long way around and finally got home 10pm.

    S.ooB. I had a #### wreck. Not sure where my head was but then oh crap there is a blue Sentra poking along in front of me. Left 8-10 foot skid marks and bang.
    Old Mexican people. EMS was called. Old lady was put in the back of the ambulance almost certainly claiming whiplash. Because of distance travelled only completed one delivery. Channelview to NW Houston with a drum.
    To SW Houston for a box. Was on hwy 6 when bang.
    Picked up two drums in Alvin. Couldn't get to LaPorte before all the people who could have unloaded me were leaving. Dispatch said earlier he had an 8:30 pick up.
    When i could not deliver i also could not pick up something in Pasadena going to NW Houston nor get rid of the box. Nor be available for 8:30.
    He sent when you get rid of what you have i'll send the next pick up. I asked where it picks up because it could affect where I go first. He never answered.

    I have to get out of this job!

    Well, I didn't stay in Belle Fourche. Saturday morning I went down the road to rapid city. Was at the j till Monday. Had a great time at the club there. People are really nice. It's been a good run. This is the best time of year weather wise. I even saw a small bear.

    Last comment???
    I'm more convinced than I was. Them people were trolling for an accident. You'd automatically get a ticket for running into the back of another vehicle right? The cop knew that I'm sure. That's why no ticket.

    There ain't time in a day to do everything they want done.
    And the weather. Sheesh! We are under a flash flood warning all week.

    If the world doesn't float away I'm supposed to grab something at Bollore (SDV) and take it to Manchester Port of Houston.

    There's something in there that is potentially even more damaging than that. Unfortunately, he's missed his window of time to edit and he doesn't seem inclined to, anyway.

    My Sister relayed a number to call and a case number to refer to. I called and left voice mail. Never got a call back.

    Did 5 today. SDV to Clark Export Packing. SDV to Manchester. Hunton Group (AC parts) to Oceanex off west beltway. International Paint to ATI in Cypress. And Corrosion Material to SV Logis.

    Managed to do it in 129 official miles and part of it DOWNPOUR RAIN!

    Well my friends
    A: They were older people.
    B: English was not their first language.

    I see/saw no reason to edit. 5 or 6 other people that knew them came and got involved.
    My insurance is going to take a mighty hit.
