Good Night From II

On home time in the middle of the Potomac river.

Me and my 4 year old son are moving my sail boat to another marina with more amenities and the slip fees are a little cheaper, the down side is that it's a further drive but it is well worth the 2 hour drive considering how nice the marina is.

We got a late start today so we tucked into a cove about halfway to the new marina and we are going to sleep on the boat tonight then head out in the morning. Hopefully we will have some decent winds tomorrow so we can sail the rest of the way there and save on some gas.

 

Armadillo, TX.

I got up very early (0200) to grab a mt for a P&G load that t-called in Lancaster, 35 miles away.
Then waited and waited at the Lancaster terminal for another mt for my next load. I was 'put on the list', and had to wait until the planners came in.
I finally called a DM in Fontana to light a match under the planners in Lancaster, after nearly an hour of waiting.
Got the mt in less than 10 minutes.
I really hate how that place works.

So now I'm headed to Aurora, CO with a Home Depot load.

 

Sparks terminal! Hmmm seems like someone rolled a trailer here. It's on the needs fixing lot. Any who a storm is supposed to be coming thru tommorow on the 395. Will take a different route to ontario, ca tommorow.

 

How can one roll a trailer at the Sparks terminal?

 

It didn't roll it at the terminal. Probably rolled somewhere close by and was brought here.i guess I should explain things.. But you can roll it if you take a turn to sharp. Seen it happen where my dad works

 

no problem parking here in jurupa terminal. just depends how far you want to walk lol. only issues i've seen here at new terminal is no shower curtains, so water flood everrywhere. and tv been stuck on channel 5 since i been here.

 

sitting at the Pasadena store for a live unload, first live since december. Was supposed to be here at 2300 and got here at 2100 so went inside and did some shopping, its 2330 now and they havent even started touching my trailer yet. After im heading to long beach for a yussen, think I might watch one of my tv shows i downloaded then take a nap since its going to be a long night, normally takes them a couple hours to unload when going at a decent rate.

 

I might have seen you here yesterday. First empty they gave me got red tagged, second one was a new 15xxxx that got dropped at a shipper, then the fun began. The pre-loaded trailer was due for a PM in December and has 5 holes in the roof, ended up bringing it back to Lancaster to get red tagged and t-called.

 

ended up shutting down a lot later than I wanted to, unload went to 3am and then went to Long Beach and back to Shafter to shut down at 7am. I only was able to grab maybe a 20min nap, all the rocking and banging of the trailer kept startling me awake, now time for a good slumber before I grab a load going to Riverbank Modesto.

 

Decatur, GA - dropped a load at Marshall's and went to the terminal 1 mile away to grab an empty. Headed to the other side of Atlanta to pick up a load and head back to LA.

QUESTION OF THE DAY.... we are headed westbound on I-40. Our concern is in regard to the developing tornado system. Thought about heading south to I-10, but right now it's looking like a massive system stretching from Mexico to the Great Lakes.

Stay safe everyone.
