CHRISTMAS TIMES ACOMIN
Snow sure puts the holidays in your heart...Got to PA and it was snowin like heck...the wind was blowin, Ricky was holdin hard to the steering wheel.Got to a service plaza about 70 miles from the customer and found a spot, lucky, and shut down. Was so cold, had to park a long way from the doors to the stores, the wind was blowin hard...my ears were freezin, gonna get my earmuffs before we come back after Christmas. Gettin unloaded was an ordeal. Had to turn the truck off while we were at the dock, and it was 26 degrees. kept waiting for them to call us on the CB to come get our paperwork.. was there for 4 hours. Ricky finally went in to check and tell them we were freezing.. no one had been in the trailer in a while.. the load was short or something.. nothing to do with us..picked up the trailer preloaded from Mexico... arghhhhh... after he went in they decided to let us go... on our way to a truckstop..got a dispatch to pick up the next day in Pottsville, PA, about 70 miles from Carlise.. where the truckstop was. Got fueled.. had a few hours on our clock and decided to get close to our customer for the night. Went on up and got about 20 miles from it. Was a good thing we didn't try to find them in the dark...was in a residential area where the road was tight.. got a partial load of ladies undergarments, then went to Pine Grove, PA, about 17 miles back and picked up bird seed. Quite a combination. : ) Then took off for Laurens, SC. Was still just a snowin, made it to a rest area in Virginia.. just above Roanoake.. for the night... still snowin... got up, no snow, : ) drove on down to Laurens, wouldn't take us early... had to sit at another truckstop for 5 hours waiting, got a good late lunch at the waffle house, then went in to the Wal Mart Dist to do a live unload... was there for 3 hours... then got a dispatch to drop our trailer around the corner at a tire place and bobtail to Lugoff, SC. Now who would name a town such a dumb name? Came over to a Target Dist. and found an empty trailer. Came over to the Pilot and have been sitting here all day...just waiting... can't really go get a shower or anything... might get a dispatch that is a hurry up and go... hate this part... give the drivers some info to work with... arghhhhh... anyway..gonna go, will catch you up when I know something..
