    Took a week and half vacation. So I had dropped my trailer at the Houston Drop Yard. I get a preplan this afternoon and am told that there are two empties currently at the Houston drop yard. I get there only to find that there are no trailers. I make three laps (not a very big area to search) and not a single one. I'm told again that there are two trailers there and given the numbers. So, I go back over there after eating some dinner. And sure enough, no trailers. I ask the guard shack if JCT still uses them for a drop yard. He says yep. I ask if he has a way to search their records for trailers. He says yes and I give him the numbers. One of them hasn't been to that yard since 2012 and there is no record of the second ever being there. The only response I got from night dispatch was, well, we have a problem. So, went back to the Pilot (next to Loves off of 610) to park for the night while they figure this out.

    Yep. It's down the road from the Truckers Paradise truck stop. But I won't stay there overnight with my daughter in the truck.
