It has been a long two days since I left the shipper and yesterday seemed it would never end! We hit the road at 7 AM and arrived at our drop location at 7 PM with only 2 hours of breaks in between. I should have been able to take a 10 hour break but I had to check in the load at 3 AM (I stayed on line 1 Off Duty). The alarm clock when off at 3 AM, was told to check in again at 3:30, was told my door was given to another, at 4:30 was called to back into door 3, at 5:00 was told to dock at door 13 as I could not get the truck into door 3 without hitting something!
I logged onto line 4 (on duty) at 5 AM as I was tired and just wanted to start my daily clock so I was guaranteed an early day. I dropped the load and ended here at the Flying J for a decent shower and a decent break. I told dispatch I would be ready for a new load at 8:30 and it is now 8:39 so the day is still early.
While en route yesterday, my dentist called in some meds for my toothache and I requested to get home as soon as possible as each day brings added pain. I was surprised to find out that my dentist charge $384 dollars for a standard cleaning.....one hour in the chair! It was no wonder I was over my yearly amount as per my conversation with Lorene, her insurance pays that much for three cleanings a year! I am going to call three dentists back home for a cleaning quote. I might be seeing another dentist for this toothache! No wonder my dentist only works 3.5 days a week!
Time to search the web!
