Heading home

After waiting over 24 hours for a load out of Houston, my mentor decided for us to "dead head" it to Phoenix. No complaints from me. If everything goes well, I should be at home, taking a shower, washing clothes and Febrezing the death out of everything that was in the truck by lunchtime tomorrow.

This will add NM to the list.

Total days away from home: 22
Total states: 26

No spooning around here


For the first six weeks or so, I'm driving with a mentor. (Lucky for me my mentor drives his own truck. So his truck is a lot nicer than one I'll get from the company.) It's a good thing we get along because we are spending a lot of time together.

Well, my wife's aunt asked her, "I'm dying to know how do they sleep in the truck? Do they take turns? or are they spooning?" And my wife promptly informed her, we aren't team driving yet, so we sleep at the same time, but on separate bunks. Me, being the greenie, I get the smaller upper bump with about 8 inches of room. Here's a picture I texted to my wife- nice and cozy.
