3:15 AM. Up and heading to Walmart Distribution Center. I hope they don’t take 4 hours to unload us like last time!  

Well, it took almost 4 hours to the dot.  8:38 and we are done.  Fortunately we were able to go back to sleep once we got settled here so that’s good. 

Apparently there is a trailer in Mississippi that is in the KLLM parking lot that they want us to go get.  The driver probably ran out of time and couldn’t get here on time so they parked.  We will go get it, about 90 miles, and bring it back to walmart to do this whole thing over again.   Yay!  😩

We got back to Louisiana about 3 pm but appointment isn’t until 4:45 and we can’t check in sooner than one hour early so we stopped off at a truck stop to get pop and ice for the night. We will probably end up sleeping in the walmart parking lot because Greg only has a couple of hours left on his clock. 

Finally we get checked in and now we wait. Again.  

DG:  We are back in Louisiana at the same Wal Mart distribution center we were at this morning. Except our appointment now is 12 and a half hours later than the one we had this morning. This morning, due to my time constraints we were, by Wal Mart rules, late by ten minutes. Apparently you have to make it through the guard shack registration, finding and backing into your assigned door and make your way to the receiving office which in some cases may be a couple hundred yards from where you park, by your appointed time. However, you may not show up more than one hour early.  So this evening we were exactly one hour early and they still did not get me a door until my appointed time. However I must say the lady who checked me in is a sweet southern lady who, when giving me my door assignment said if someone was still in that door to park until they left and if they got another door open sooner she would call me. Well, there was someone in my door but fortunately for us there was a parking space directly accross from the door next to it so I pulled in there giving me nearly a straight shot to back into my assigned door. Well, several minutes went by and my phone rang. It was the lady from the receiving desk. She asked if someone was still in my space and I told her yea and then she asked if the space next to that one was open and when I told her it was she said, “Well you get on in there honey”.  I just love the south. By the way, that door was directly behind me so there wasn’t any slanting and angling to be done. Anyway it’s around 8:00 pm now so I have to get some sleep so we can pull out of here around 2:00 am. 

God bless. 

Annie – Again almost 4 hours on the nose.  Why bother scheduling appointments so early when you know it’s going to be 4 hours.   So, Greg’s time starts again at 2 am so he is off to bed so we can get to our next trip, supposedly pick up in Louisiana somewhere and take to Minnesota.  I am ready to leave the south.  Way too hot for me and the humidity down here is awful.  

The call came in at about 9 that they were done unloading so Greg went to get his paperwork and finish up but there is an issue.  Apparently where it sat for a couple of days waiting some of the bacon packaging had mold on it so they rejected part of the load.  Not sure what happens next so waiting on call from office.  Oy! 

Ok.  We are to take trailer back to the lot in Mississippi where we picked it up and get a new empty trailer then go back to Louisiana to pick up our load for Minnesota.  

Better turn in.   Night y’all.
