I have been sitting all day at the terminal here near Harrisburg, PA. Got a load offer at noon that picks up at 11pm tonight going to Laredo, TX. I will be laying down for a couple of hours here in a few minutes to try and get a nap, which I can't do, but I will try anyway.
Leave here about 1 1/2 hours before pick up time and maybe they will already have the load ready when I get there. I will try to make it down I-81 as far as I can tonight before turning in, then it will depend on rather I can find a parking place somewhere when I need one. If not, then I will have to drive until daylight. I don't deliver until Tuesday morning, so I have enough time to stop early if I need to.
Pat says they are getting a good rain at the house today. Probably last through tomorrow night. Everyone have a good weekend.
About Me
- Travis
- I am married 32 1/2 years and live in E. Texas. We have one son and 3 grandchildren. Although I have BS degree and have tried management several times, I have found I am more comfortable just driving a truck. You keep your record clean and drive safely you will always have a job. When lost management jobs, I was always able to get one driving. I have always loved writing, haven't done enough of it to increase my vocabulary over the years, but no time like the present to start. Thanks to Eric and Jamie's living in China and getting me hooked on blogs, I have decided to write my own. I am a long haul truck driver and I travel 48 states. I have done this off and on most of my working career, getting my commercial license in 1972 just to pull uncle's dozer around town. If anyone follows this maybe they will get some idea what I am going through. What any truck driver goes through and what he gives up in his life. It is very lonely and not for everyone.
