Good Tuesday afternoon from the edge of Salt Lake!

!  Here I sit, again, waiting on my second shag today from a salt company on the Great Salt Lake.  They produce everything from table salt to salt licks.  Today, if my calculations are correct, I will make a whole $66 dollars!  Now we can throw in a can of beans with the fried spam and $1 movie rental J

My first shag was not due for pickup until 10 AM but I was up and ready to run at 6 AM so I had the load back to the drop yard before it was due for pick up!  Now this second shag, they wanted me to pick up tonight at 9 PM, which means that they expected me to take a 10 hour break and drive graveyard.  NOPE!  I contacted the client and headed straight to the plant to be put on a waiting list.  My pick up moved from 9 PM to 3 PM with plenty of time to return to the yard before my hours are up.  They did have a pre-assigned load at 2 AM to take to Blaine, Washington, so hopefully it will be waiting for me when I wake up.

And Idaho must go through a ton of salt as 80% of the trucks here are from there!  Just spoke with one of the drivers and he delivers salt to the mine in Clayton, Idaho!  I lived there at a very young age, good memories of that town, the people and grandmother’s sourdough pancakes!
