Thanksgiving Roll Call

Thanksgiving is wonderful but Xmas is more important to me and taking off 3 weeks at Xmas so the road it is for Thanksgiving.

 

Took the whole week off

 

Just back from 14 day cruise to Central/South America, Panama Canal, off till 11/25. Work 11/25-12/1. Off/home till 12/5 then back for 10 day cruise to Western Caribbean. Work again last week of Dec or maybe first week of Jan, haven’t decided.
You asked.

 

Picking up in the am, then delivering in the evening. Roads should be kinda quiet i hope around Harrisburg.

Ill get my turkey dinner the next time im off. In my line of work, i may or may not work every holiday of the year, but my family in this house will always celebrate on our own terms.

And no, its not by choice. My schedule is 6 on 2 off so my weekend rotates by 1 day every week. Might be 6 years before i get Thanksgiving to land on my weekend.

 

My husband is doing a last minute relay load. Instead of getting home today, it'll be tomorrow night. But....instead of leaving Saturday evening, he'll be home til Monday morning.

 

I'll also add .
Thanksgiving week sucks pay wise .
Half of weds is shot in the arse ..all of Thurs and most of Friday .
Load long to to stay moving cause nobody wants to work...its a week shot in the can otherwise .
Came into LA this morning from Barstow and barely hit the brakes till I got to the 605 and 105 .

 

Yea it's one of those holiday weeks that most places are only open till Wednesday at 4 it seems.

 

Yeah this week sucks for freight. I tried to book some short hauls and they were almost non-existent. If I wanted to pick up today and deliver Friday there were plenty. So I just took the week off.

 

I'm heading home from Portland now, I should be home around 5:00 am. I'll get a few hours of sleep, then go to a friend's house for early dinner, then to my brother's house where I'm staying for dessert and a nap, because I'll be back at it around 3:00 am Friday.
