Our live load in La Porte, TX was Red Bull. As drivers we're not supposed to talk about our loads much especially when they are high value. On this load I had to participate in a conference call to learn that we HAD to be able to make the PU and DEL on time and that we would be able to drive on from the PU for 150 miles without stopping. They really value their Red Bull.
After delivering in Aubrey we headed over to Grapevine and picked up a loaded trailer for Target and dropped it at the Dallas, OC and then jumped under a load of filter cartridges headed for West Branch, IA. We spent the night at the Downstream casino. That's the one on the borders of OK, MO and KS. Played a little Texas Hold'em. Lost a hand of trip 7s and lost a flush hand. I did win a few though, could have been better.
We dropped the load in West Branch yesterday afternoon and picked up another at the same place and are headed to Browns Summit, NC. This will take us east on I74 through Champaign this morning so we'll have lunch with Tracie and Andrea, maybe Josh too, but he works on Sundays so we'll see.
Nice to be out of the Texas heat, but the nats are crazy up here.
12 days till Vegas.
Scott and Jennie were scheduled to deliver Sophie on Friday. Turned out they were out of beds so they told them to wait. Then noon came and the doctor wanted to wait till after the weekend. Course that's OK with him, he's not carrying the baby!!! So they waited and waited. Deborah, Scott's mom, flew out from Monterye so she could be there and was planning to leave on Monday maybe Tuesday. Looked like she might miss Sophie. Sophie decided to come yesterday. Congratulations to Scott and Jennie. Now, the big question is; will they all feel good enough to come show her off in Las Vegas in two weeks? Soon as I get a picture, I'll post it.
