On the road again........not yet!

Good morning virtual truckers!

Here we sit and sit and sit......waiting on Jeff.  I am just too organized for my own good, having packed all my gear last night, up and showered by 7 AM and waiting at the door at 8:45 for my 9 AM pick up.  And the time now is 10:10!  Jeff did call stating that we hadn't received a load notice as of yet so he was taking his wife to McDonalds for breakfast.  The staff here was kind enough to put my cold goods in their cooler while I wait.  I could have had a good run and an hour to lay at the pool........augh!

Just a little reminder to self, remember what time zone you are in when calling friends.  I called Jim this morning as he is on the road tomorrow as an official truck driver and he sure did sound sleepy when he answered!  Ummmm, I am in Florida and he is in California........and it was 5 AM his time!  But being the trooper he is, he woke up quickly and we talked for over a half hour.  He is a little apprehensive about what is ahead of him, what is around him and what is expected of him. 

JIM, my dear trucking buddy, as long as you woke up smiling; it is the best we could ask for!  And as we discussed, there is a new era of truck drivers that are sitting behind that 20” wheel.  We have educated professionals and recession casualties entering the trucking industry that are going to raise the bar and change the stereotype of the ole and gruff trucker.  We are a part of that and butt cracks are not allowed ;)

See you all on the road and (looking out those double doors) hopefully soon!
