We dropped the load early at 6 AM and was ready to do nothing by 7 AM as I was down to two hours on my 70 hour clock. I haven’t heard a word from fleet so I returned to the truck stop, loaded the cooler with ice (that cab is going to get warm), took Gonja for a swim (he is now tethered to the trailer in the field with his bed and a gallon of water) and I am waiting for my steak and eggs while washing laundry.
The distribution center we went to today was kewl! They dug out a little valley into a hill and build three very large distribution centers into it! The loading docks were perfect to backing and I was quite impressed with the architect and the design. I was in and out so quickly. Also, it was nice to see two other female drivers at this location, those odds don’t happen often!
As for the field in which we parked, parking lots get so hot with all those big rigs running and it is not an ideal location to keep a dog outside. This is a big place and I just parked in the very back on a mixture of weeds and grass. There is a nice breeze with a sweet aroma of livestock that the previous driver left behind that will tease and torment Gonja! I parked facing east so by afternoon, the sun will be at our back. It is suppose to reach 98 degrees today with humidity of 86 percent…….augh!
I will spend the majority of today inside and then mid afternoon, spend time with the lab at the river edge. I told fleet I would be ready for a load at 5 AM depending on what hours I gain at midnight. Stay inside…….it is going to be nasty today!
And some lucky girl or boy will be wearing Matt's lovely locks! He still doesn't look over 25!
