Where Are You Continues, Again.....

It's nice and warm here in AL.... Passed Hess and Petro down the road and came park at this small and quiet Shell...



But this place smells like a farm.... cow crap...

Having my warm meal of the day and going to bed ASAP... gotta start driving at 2:30 am central... Happy trails to you all......

 

Finally got unloaded at purina mills I'm Dekalb bound after a nap.

Thanks is to Ol hand and d o g they really helped an ol country boy out

 

At 6:42 Roland texted two things. Pick up documents at W. Alabama just outside of downtown. And deliver at Agility. And get two pieces at Gaffney Krose for SDV.
Then he calls and says we have a 1500# pick up somewhere and a 4 pallet pick up at General Work Products. Then a bit later he changed it to get 12 drums at Palmer Warehouse going to Baytown and the 4 pallets going to Port Arthur.
Was going to get the drums first before they closed for lunch. But he said do General Work Products first because they needed the space. So waited and ate lunch at Palmer.
Much later I find out they wanted me in Port Arthur at 3:45.
They actually got me at 4:30. Got back to the truck stop at 7:00 to drop.
Stopped for milk on the way home because the Montero is down for a battery and I might need fuel money Friday.

Going eyelid inspecting shortly.

 

Nope cold storage....&loaded turkeys that prolly been in there a year or so....goin right back in storage in PA....cuba mo.....fer lil bit

 

Roland told me yesterday that he is offering me these good paying loads because I'm his most dependable driver. What that really means is I never flat refuse to do anything unlike many of my fellow drivers who don't answer the phone and such.
Frankly I can't afford to miss any work. And I don't understand those who aren't in the same boat!

The problem with two good paying loads yesterday is that I usually get fuel every other day.
Next fuel buy SHOULD be Friday. But tugging that decidedly un-slick load to Port Arthur used up my Wednesday and Thursday fuel. I get my last cash fuel out of my pocket today.
And that is why the Montero doesn't yet have a battery.

 

Done in Shiner headed for the bottom..

Bye

 

Out of bed and headed for Dekalb Texas. I am ready to see some familiar territory. I been to Shreveport sale barn and a fertilizer place by it with this hopper but this is definetly not what I am used to. Guess I might as well get used to it.

 

Breezewood PA... one of the drive axle shocks was leaking this morning... a shocking development. Looks like I'm shelling out for 4 new ones today.

 

4 picks of tee-maters in the valley going back to Penn-syl-tucky...
