4 am.   Time to get up and head to receiver.   Only about 30 miles or so, so it won’t take long.    It’s a 3 part live unload.   Stopping here, then Lewisville and then Dallas.   

5:30 am.  Arrived at receiver.  We got a door right away which is encouraging.   We hope.  

9 am.   Well, took longer than we thought.   Now on to second drop.  We are already late for this one as we had a 9 am appointment.   Fortunately it’s not too far.

9:50  am.  Arrived at second stop.   The guy at the guard shack told us to go to door 36.   We get there and there are cones in the lane.  Go inside to office and that door is broken.   Put our name on the list. There are three trucks ahead of us waiting on a door.   Oh boy.  

12:30 pm.  Unload is done.   Guy in office said he would be out with papers in a bit. 

1:40 pm.  Finally get papers.   “Sorry man, went to lunch”.  Now we are late for third stop which was supposed to be at 1 pm.  Dispatch said go on over they will try to work you in.  

2:30 pm.  Got to part three and was told by their office that they couldn’t take us today and they rescheduled it for Monday.   Greg called Kllm to tell them and they told him to sit tight that they were trying to work with receiver and get us unloaded.   

3:30 pm.   Still waiting so Greg called Kllm back and they said nope, no unload today.  Go on to Kllm yard in Lancaster and drop trailer.   Good.  That means they don’t expect us to sit around all weekend and take the trailer back on Monday.   We hope! 

4 pm.  Stopped at fuel and lucky enough to hit a Fuel City which has a burrito/fajita place in it.   We are starving.   Nothing to eat today as appointments were so late we couldn’t stop anywhere.    

4:30 pm. Headed to Lancaster yard for the night.   Hopefully get a trip out in am.   

DG:  Dadgum clock again. I spent nearly nine hours in the sleeper today.  Now what cockamamie imbecile came up with the rule that says that is not enough rest to drive?  People that have never done a thing making up rules for those who do. Nuts. 

Okay, short day, short temper. Might as well go to bed and sleep on it. 

Hope you all are well. God bless.
