WORKING MY WAY BACK HOME

Been on the road 3 weeks now and this load is taking me closer to home. FAYE has been chasing me for the past week, from Florida KEYS, to northern states and WEST towards Louisiana. I've been keeping a few steps ahead. I don't expect she'll make Illinois, although we'll probably get some remnant weather from her.

Am in West memphis OC for the evening to deliver by Monday in Woodridge, IL..NO PROBLEM. MAY take some time for myself tomorrow and go fishing. I'll still deliver by Sunday.

Tomorrow I'll get my laundry done and other shopping for necessities.

When I get home next week, I'll finish oving with the help of my WIFE and SON.

BY THE WAY .. RAY....YOU CAN COMMENT ON THIS WEBPAGE IF YOU WISH.

PLAYING CATCHUP


Well Ray, I said I'd try to catchup on this site when I got to an OC..Well, I'm sitting in ATLANTA, and may deliver to Walmart in Louisiana, tomorrow or Thursday. This and my last three loads were to WALMARTS. I don't have a student with me, lost him on his first day out. He decided he didn't want to drive afterall. His name was EARL. FROM EARLVILLE, IL of all places. I don't have a foto of him. Perhaps its for the best. After leaving him, I proceeded to deliver my load, and enroute, I dropped my driveshaft (AGAIN) in Council Bluffs. Spent a day there, went to deliver the load, that evening to be told it was rescheduled to the next night. Well I did get breakdown and layover pay for those days.




Prior to Earl there was STEVE. He was a truckfull of laughs. He even liked my jokes. He called me on Saturday while I was visiting my mom and brother in Shelbyville, KY. He got through his testing and is on the road.




I ran into SIMRANJIT again at Gary, Ray...you remeber him.. we went to eat on Ray's boat. That was a good evening.




Before Steve, was Carl. I was worried about him, but found out he got a 92% on hiws testing up in Greenbay. He met me in Gary also and showed me his CDL, and introduced me to his wife., I need to find his and Steve's fotos so I can update the site.
