DG:  I happened to notice last night that my pick up time for this next load is 11:00 PM tonight so I sent a message to dispatch to inquire if this was an appointment time or if it was one of those cases where we have until the pick up time to get it as is the case sometimes and from the information I receive it is not always clear. The response came that this was one of those anytime until then deals but the general consensus was that I should call to confirm the readiness of the load before moving out and starting my clock prematurely. So I called at 6:00 this morning as my break ended at that time. I was told they didn’t start loading till 8:00 so back to bed. 

The extra couple of hours sleep will do me good today. Up at 9:00, wow, feel like I slept all day.  Truck stop breakfast at TA is not too bad.  They have a full service restaurant so there are more choices than Burger King or Arby’s. Even though there is a Bojangles right across the street, four lane highway, that fact and the pouring down rain influenced our decision to eat where we were. 

Annie – Greg called and load is ready so off we go.   Except we get about an hour in to a two hour drive and come up on stopped traffic.  There is a wreck up the road between a tanker truck and an SUV.   We ended up sitting or inching our way for 5 hours!!   

   
   
We finally got to our stop which was a Dole plant and we picked up 10,000 pounds of lettuce mixes like you see already bagged up in the store.  We are taking part of the load to pompano beach Florida and the rest to Miami.    Then off to see the babies. 

The pictures below are of a flat bed truck with a sense of humor.   You see them carrying all kinds of stuff but this was too cute. 

   
 We parked at a TA just south of savannah so only about 6 hours to go tomorrow.    

Turning in.   Goodnight y’all.  

DG: I’ll second that. Goodnight and God bless.
