WHERE'S MY JACKET?
We had a nice stay at the Bandit Truckstop, in Smithville, outside of Allentown, PA. Got our water an hour early, and took off for Myrtle Beach, SC, Drove to Dunn, NC and visited with our friend Jerome and his lovely wife Angela. Had a delicious lunch and supper with them.
Drove on down to Sam's, had a 1:00am appointment there and unloaded the water. Then got a dispatch to go to Sanford,NC to pick up patio lounge chair cushions for Marcy,NY. We were at the dock for 5 hours while they ( I think made them and) loaded them one at a time. Ricky went in to get soda's and in the back of the warehouse were people sewing them. Made for a long day, finally drove on down to a restaurant called Checkers that has truck parking, a scarce commodity in some places, and got a bite to eat and a nap.
Our drive to New York was a beautiful one, the sun was shining and the flowers and green trees and grass were a site to see in the mountains and valleys. Got to the Pennsylvania-New York line and took our 10 hour break, can't idle your truck in New York. Got up and drove all the way to Marcy and did a drop and hook. Empty trailers were scarce since there were at least 5 more drivers coming to the same place, finally found one and off to Verona where the casino parking is. Laid down for a nap waiting for a dispatch. (we were #3 on the board)
It is now 10:30am and we are #1 on the board still waiting for a dispatch, a run to Texas would be nice from here. I just prefer south or west from here. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Will let you know what our next destination is....
