IT'S HOTTTT IN TEXAS
Mannnn, It's hot here!!! We were in and out of Laredo in record time. Didn't get a good load :( would you believe... back to Temple! For a Monday delivery at 2:00pm. Went back to Trucker's Heaven, the truck stop we had just left, was just a mile from the delivery..plastic cups. Got up Monday morning, went in a little early, got out at 2:00 instead of in, went to wait on a new dispatch. Got a load to be picked up in Houston at 10:00pm...beer.. to go to San Angelo, Tx., just 400 miles away. Was hoping for a day trip and got a night one, puts us in a night driving cycle and I hate that. Ricky hates it too cause I'm so spastic in the dark. My surgery left me with bad side effects for being a passenger at night. I try to be good. So we get to San Angelo at 7:30am and Ricky didn't kill me on the way, delivered the beer and headed for a small truck stop just around the corner, and went straight to bed. We had the air conditioner turned way up, the thermometer said 103 degrees. Slept for a couple of hours, woke up for a short time, laid down to try for some more sleep, cause Ricky was going back on the board at 6:00pm. Well, we're awake again, and still no dispatch, and it's almost 8:00pm. Just as we lay down again... if we can make ourselves go to sleep again.. the durn computer will go off. Maybe we can pretend to be asleep now and fool it into going ahead with with a dispatch...Hmmmmm.. :)
Forgot to tell you.... We went to bed Sunday night with Ricky being a CFI driver, woke up to him being a Conway driver. CFI sold the company to Conway and had the computer going off Monday morning telling us to check the web site for some exciting news.. The deal won't be final till September, and they are telling us it will be great for the drivers..Keep your fingers crossed.. hopefully better insurance and shorter wait time for loads, and longer loads.
Welllll, guess I'll sit and listen to the CFI CEO with Ricky on the XM radio show with Bill Mack about all this buy out stuff., hoping for a load soon.... catch you up later.....
Dreamin our dream...Belinda and Ricky
