Parked Here for the Night

Cant remember last time I was in El Paso Pete.....still at the house....

 

you better watch out the "kids" will email you if your on the puter
even with the phone shut off

 

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT SIR! I parked at that rest area... Nuangola, PA...


Arrived at shipper at 8:30 this morning and couldn't make to the entrance of the place on my first attempt....



the ground was all covered with ice... I was empty.... span the wheels but couldn't go up and kept going backwards... towards the narrow road behind....

Guys at the shipper had to get their shovels and throw some dirt on the driveway...
And then, I backed some more on the street, put it in forth gear and "gave it hell"... like the guy told me... So... I could make it to the top... YeeeHah!!!
Living and learning here folks.... this "poor" Brazilian lady doesn't have yet much experience driving on snow and ice...

Once at the yard, another learning experience to back trailer to the dock because of the ice and un-leveled ground...



Finally loaded, not too light and not too heavy... took the narrow road back to the major highway...



I was lucky there was no vehicle coming in my direction any time on that road... don't think there was enough room for two vehicles...

Ooohhh... all these places that my co. goes...

But my DSP is WONDERFUL... she gave me this load because I told her yesterday that I might need to travel abroad on an emergency situation soon... This load delivers not too far from co. terminal this Thursday...
You know... "things" like a caring, thoughtful dispatcher is PRICELESS.....

Ok... now at another rest area in OH... it's all dry here... but cold... PRETTY COLD...

 

Rocks, you making a hand gettin around on stuff like that! Popped the knobs for a few, in Il on 24 somewhere! Headed for the Windy, 3 stops, then load back south. Check y'all later! Also hope all goes well with your dad.

 

I couldn't find the definition for "make a hand".... What does that mean?

Hey... THANK YOU... Dad is not going to have the surgery... for now... He talked to doctor/surgeon today.... asked some questions and doctor told him that is a high risk surgery and for that reason, he will not do it... What I relieve... I think that was the best choice... ...even though dad may have a worse "attack" than the last one and will need an emergency surgery...
I will definitely go to Brasil to see him soon...

 

Makin a hand means doing a real good job. You should teach us some of your Brazilian slang as a trade off. Lol I'm just giving you a hard time

 

Trade slangs... I know old ones... have been out of that country for over 20 yrs...

 

Well just pulled the yella at the Pilot okc. A couple blocks from receiver and a couple miles from the house. But since the old lady and I are calling it quits. I'll be taking advantage of the shower power at the pilot.

They had a relay planned for me. I was going to switch loads and head to my 2nd home Norcross, GA. But driver had family emergency and I have to sit on this load till 2000. We'll beep beep that's all for know. We back quiet.

 

Al and woreout only know old slang anywho
I still say stuff my grandfathers did no one gets it
I still never get over our Mexican driver thinking
I was a foreigner

 

Well. I hope its better over in OKC, if I'd known I needed to bring ice skates to get to Amarillo hell I have them.

Rocks, doesn't matter if its a day ol' slang or 20 yrs. Fire away.
