<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TexasMike, post: 378979, member: 13898&quot;][Couldn&#039;t connect to the internet last night very well so here&#039;s yesterday&#039;s update]</p><p>--Day Two--</p><p>Today started out pretty crappy, it started raining in Dallas last night and man did it start. By noon we already had three inches of rain and my back yard was flooded. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was originally supposed to meet my trainer at the yard, but he ended up having to do a local run early and he told me he would call when he got to Irving to do a pickup. Once he called I met him at the Quaker distribution center and unloaded my car, kissed my wife goodbye and joined him in the truck. </p><p><br /></p><p>Tom&#039;s a pretty good ol&#039; boy, a redneck just like me ... we should get along just fine. </p><p><br /></p><p>After joining him we drove over to the yard so he could unload his stuff into the truck and we took off with me driving ... lol. </p><p><br /></p><p>Heading to Denver with stops for fuel. Those folks gotta get their gatorade <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;m sitting in Boise City, OK right now and about to take my 10 hour break. More tomorrow.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>--Day Three--</p><p>Got up early this morning and ate breakfast and continued on to Denver.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With me continuing to do just about all the driving,&nbsp; we arrived at the consignee about two hours early and ended up having to wait an hour to be able to log in for our appointment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That wasn&#039;t to bad though, because we were early we were forth in line and got our door number very quickly as soon as they started calling trucks.&nbsp; Then the wait began ...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Took them two and a half hours to unload 23 pallets, and man those lumper fees are a scam.&nbsp; That is what I need to do is open a lumper company ... geeze!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After we got cleared and made the MT call, we were told there were no loads leaving Denver going anywhere and we would have to layover till Thursday morning and hope to get a brokered load out as the meat plant up here has nothing going out for some reason or another.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So we are now up there at a truckstop about ten miles outside of Denver for the night.&nbsp; Had a good dinner with another driver who is stuck here with us and hoping to get out tomorrow as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So far so good ... see ya tomorrow![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
