Mother's Day

How grateful I am to have a wonderful mother and mother-in-law. They are such great examples. I have been blessed with six wonderful sons that call me Mom. I am proud to be their Mom. I am grateful to each of the mothers of our wonderful grandchildren. Thank you for doing such a good job. We love all of you.

After sitting in NC for 3 days, we left there to go to Laurel MD to pick up milk to take to Springfield MO. We drove empty, across KS, to Lamar CO and picked up sunflower oil. We took it to Santa Fe Springs CA. We then picked up milk to take to Lake Norden SD. Mark dropped me off in UT so I could come home. After delivering there, he came home empty.

We are on the road again. We left home with just the truck, no trailer. One of the drivers took the load to Boise that Dad was suppose to take. We went to Yakima and picked up a trailer and got it loaded with apple juice. We took it to Dunnigan, CA where we met another driver. We traded trailers and we got the load of canola oil. We went down to Bakersfield and then over to Barstow. We got on I40 which went through AZ, NM, TX, OK, AR, TN and then into NC. We are there now. We unloaded early this morning at Frito-Lay and will wash the trailer in the morning. Then we will drive to Atlanta, GA (going through SC) and pick up defoamer for Simplots in Nampa and Caldwell. This is a quick post so I will post more later.

Still Going.

We are sitting in the Toronto area. We got here last night, thought we would unload today but things have changed. Apparently the place we delivered to is not equipped with tanks so they are unloading as needed. They hope to have it unloaded sometime tomorrow but not sure. They were thinking, we would just drop the trailer and then when the next load came, they would leave the full trailer and take the empty one. The next one is not suppose to get here till sometime next week. They also didn't know it would cost so much to do that. We are getting paid for sitting here but not sure how much. They can't plan what to do with us since we are not sure when we will be done. The interesting life of truckers.
