We dropped our trailer at the processing plant for future fries/chips and picked up a very dirty empty trailer. They do lift the trailers in the air to dump the load and I will have to share that picture another time as this Internet connection bites. We arrived at 8 AM and was assigned a load at 9:30 AM to Florida!
Good news, I have never delivered there as a solo driver. Bad news, the dang nab it driving hours! We are to pick up our next load at 2:30 PM tomorrow, just an hour from where I am sitting. Then we will drive 1000 miles to Jacksonville, FL, with the load due at 7 AM on the 25th. It stated in the notes that to drop/hook before 7 AM. Now if I can get the shipper to let me pick up a few hours early, I can be parked at midnight tomorrow. If I can drop early, I can do so between 9 & 10 PM on the 24th. I will try my best to make sure I get back to my day hours and not drive all nighters!
I will let you know in the morning what our schedule is after I talk to the clients.
Since we stopped early, we walked early, I cleaned the truck, I washed laundry and have a fresh bed to sleep in. Hopefully I will be able to "skype" with dear ones this evening but we will see how our web connection is later today. For now, I will hit the restaurant for a hot dinner that I did not prepare!
