Where Are You....continues........

Up. Not feeling stellar. Thinking I will not go to the office this morning.
Instead ii will conserve all the fuel I might. And perhaps sit a lot.

 

When Greg (don't like Greg) called today he said myself and the new girl with the van were IT. He mentioned there were at least 4 on me. I ran a 19# from SDV to Cargolux.
Then he says something about Akzo Noble. Then something about needing my trailer for a run to a place where they always want a liftgate that will handle a pallet jack. And pick up 6 pallets. Even hand loading and unloading. The pallets would consist of small boxes. I declined as respectfully as I could. Then I was sent to Channelview for 3 Hazmat drums going to Friendswood. I called at 13:30 saying I was done in Friendswood.
He said he'd call me back. At 14:00 I relocated to a gas station. At 14:15 he sent a text asking for the info. At 15:00 I called and he said it was quiet. I asked if I should sit where I was or move up to the Airport area. He said whatever makes the most sense for you going home. So I moved to a station near that area. At 16:15 I sent based on this morning I never thought I would sit so much. At 16:27 he sent Sorry go on home.

Rolled in 17:50

 

Cameron Texas, just picked this trailer up!

Unload Houston tomorrow.

 

Sigh. Even with Rolland there I had a "3" day.
Pearland to Deer Park with 145#
Pasadena to just inside Houston with 69#
South Houston to Northwest Houston with 300#
Got told at not long after 16:00 to go home.
Spent $10 on a car wash whether my truck needed or not (but it REALLY did!)

got home 18:35

 

Woke up (0400) in Chemult, OR to a light frosting of that white stuff....headed down OR 58 over a blanket of white stuff...no chains (except for a Swifty and a Central...one and the same now I guess)...made it to home number 2 Aurora T/A and now getting ready to deliver in Sumner, WA. 3.25 hours to my north...then back down to Sac with one of those 4k loads! Hopefully the winds die down before Thursday!

 

I have escaped the icy clutches of the polar vortex to a land down yonder! Tuscaloosa AL where it is shirtsleeve weather before sun up!

 

Heck, you didn't have to go that far south! Buffalo is mighty nice today!

 

Ain't chancin' it... -25 the last time I loaded there!

 

Buffalo can only be so nice

 

Had a "5" day
5 pieces 147# from down near Hobby to almost Beltway 8 off 290.
2 pieces 39# from SDV to Cargolux (which while I was waiting for )
1 piece 394# from SDV to Cargolux on the same trip.
1 piece 1470# from SDV to Cargolux
