favorite rout/ job

With my Favorite Job I had driving, I pulled a Small 40' Flatbed. MY Favorite Route would be the Texas Run.. I had 4 Runs I would make. Baltimore (My worst) Florida, Texas, and Il,MO Run. They had another run, But I never made it. It was to Colorado. The other Driver took it and when they did not have that run to make he would take the Florida Run.

On the Texas Run, I would leave out on Monday Night, and make my first of up to 19 drops in Miss or La. Then I would have about 2 or 3 Stops in Orange, Tx, LaGrange, Tx then Baytown, then maybe 2 or 4 Drops in Houston, I would have 2 more stops south west of Houston then work my way up to Eagle Rock, Tx (Thinking that's the name) then off to Monroe, LA for my Finial Drop. Then I would dead head home and get home just intime to go and watch the local HS Football game on Friday Night.

As to where I parked at all pending. If I was near a customer and and they did not have a Customer of their own(The Dearly Departed), and no Neighbors as in residentual Houses I would sleep there. I have even slept in a Cementary once or twice. If I got to the customer late I would able to unload on my own, and sign the bills myself which was 90% of the time.. But I would stop over in Orange Tx at the Flying J, T/A in BayTown while I was working the Houston area, then where ever when I got tired on the way home.

This Job was one of my best while driving. It was not your run of the mill trucking jobs. if you are afraid of going into Cementaries, it not a job for you. I had State Police following me time to time since I had to go down roads that was stated No Trucks, but I had a delievery down them so I never got bothered by them.. It was also a Job that required Skills in driving. Tight spaces you had to manuver in, place that not ment for a 18 wheeler to ever touch, and to go into them and not even touch the grass, was a tricke in it's self. Some of the Drops I had the same amount of space to pull in, and get turned around into the area where they wanted the product at if I would pull into a Small House lot, amd have to manuver around a Old Oak Tree and not hit it nor the House on the property. You had to know how to move the truck around in Very very tight spots.
