Updating the time capsule..(Just an update)...
I know I'm not doing a good job keeping up with posting updates, (no room for excuses here). Can you believe it, it's true the last update came after my last vacation and now after another vacation to Hawaii just happened and I finally decide to update this blog again (go figure). I had an interesting time since I returned, my current truck (I placed in the shop for repair while I was gone) was loaned out to another driver, I used another persons truck for a week until mine returned. (blessing here was a non smoker had my truck)!!!. Then it was off to my favorite part of the US----(the east coast) where I endured possibly the most awful time I had since I started driving truck!! If it can go wrong it will> The waiting to be loaded or unloaded, waiting for a load, the driving into areas or warehouses with tight docks or turn around areas, very little miles, lots of down time and deliveries when you cannot deliver on that day, made 2 weeks seem like forever. I finally asked my boss to get me moving west of the area, at the time I dropped a relay at our NJ drop lot. I received a load picking up in Jersey to deliver in Randolph Massachusetts, just south of Boston. Then I was surprised with a long run, from there (Boston) to Auburn Washington. I was shocked to say the least!!! For sure the longest run I had as a solo driver!! I sure looked forward to that run. I'll share details of that run on a later post hopefully with pictures too!! I had a great time on vacation with my wife,family and friends. Mom and Dad's still doing great. (and mom I know I ate too much, the scales don't lie!!) I'll be planning the next vacation soon as soon as my wife and I can agree on a date I'll book it and go. Until next time......(very soon.....;-)....) aloha....Gus
