Good morning from the very same place where I started this emotional rollercoaster thirteen weeks ago! Yes my fellow truckers, we are back in Phoenix, at the same hotel, at the same terminal, with the same pool that I plan to actually use this time!
I dropped my load in Mesa and was tickled to finally get a load to get me home, or close to it. The next drop was in Lacy, Washington and considering the miles, a good run to end my thirteen weeks. BUT………….I insisted on the truck getting a full inspection and intentionally had it red tag for mechanical and safety issues. My hope was to get a new truck since this one is past its prime but if not, with my life being more valuable than this truck; at least getting the Seattle Rust Bucket safe for more road trips. And in this case, this is what happened. Heck, I have been gone for so long, a few more days won't kill us!
So relax, enjoy the pool and the sun as we won’t be heading home quite yet. Hopefully we will be on our way, at the earliest Tuesday morning. Besides………..I have a date tonight ;) Yeehaw!
