We got away from home on Sunday, picked up a load of water and delivered in Brookhaven, MS. Then went to Pelahatchie, MS and picked up a load of packaging going to Sara Lee bakery in Rome, GA. I say a load, it was only 5 pallets. Pays the same though. Got that off Tuesday morning and then we picked up a load of aluminum cans there in Rome going to St. Louis that we deliver this afternoon. Getting a lot of next day deliveries and hoping for something a little longer when empty today. Probably not though, once you get into these regional load offers can't seem to get out the whole time I'm out. Go home and hope for better the next month usually.
Working on the pictures from last month and hope to get them up today or tomorrow. Didn't take a whole lot since I didn't have the USB cable with me. It is hard sometimes to remember exactly where the pictures were taken, but believe I still remember the ones I have.
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.
