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.

Load for the Hurricane

When we got to Washington last weekend, we had to wait to hear about our next load. When I heard the company name, I thought it was a company from my water restoration days. When we went to pick up the load I realized I was right. The company makes fans that dry out homes after a flood. The order was scheduled to arrive in Philadelphia right after Irene stopped by.

It took us 4 days to get there and we traveled through ID, MT, WY, ND, MN, WI, IL, IN, OH, and PA.

My second load was 42,000 pounds of Gatorade to Tacoma, Washington.  It took us three days to get there.  We went through AZ, NV, OR and WA.

My first load

My first load went to San Pablo Port in LA.  We were carrying electronics and had just about every difficulty possible (none of them our fault).  It took us three days to get to LA and back to Phoenix.
