Saturday we got our next w/a; pick up a trailer there at the Edwardsville OC and take it to Laredo, TX. Cool. Only problem is the trailer doesn't arrive until 0230 Sunday morning. It's a HOT load, needs to be there on Monday. Not too bad 1087 miles - two days.
Got up about 5:30 and started looking for the trailer... nope nowhere. I called the support folks and was told the previous driver had put the wrong trailer number in on the Qualcomm. So I started looking again. Yep, there it is. Might have been there awhile, who knows.
Anyway got hooked up while Teresa slept and hit the road. Made it all the way to Durant, OK 565 miles. Not a bad day. This morning I got up a bit too early - 0400. Got in a bit of trouble for that one. Anyway we got to the freight forwarder (it's actually headed across the border into Mexico ) at 1600 and they were locked up tight. They left early for a Mexican holiday.
Tomorrow we'll head back and deliver at 0700 then there is a load at the Laredo OC that HAS to be back in Ft. Worth, TX tomorrow. The w/a say 427 miles. Should not be a problem, depending on traffic.
We're hanging out at an IdleAire at the Pilot in Laredo. Teresa's so excited watching "DWTS."
After waking her up at 0400 this morning, it's the least I can do.
Here's a sunrise from OK, I took the morning of my Mom's birthday. 
It's a little blurry but the colors are good.
