What a difference good weather makes! Lori and Tamara practically flew to North Carolina, arriving at the Dole warehouse 10 hours early - which meant the chance for a GREAT night's sleep while the truck was sitting still.
They pick up their next load literally right around the corner of the building; more Dole produce headed back to Hammond, LA east of Baton Rouge. There's a trucker's ministry service at the Petro in Hammond so they hope to get there in time for that Sunday morning.
While the hard driving takes its toll, Lori appreciates the opportunity to get so many miles so quickly. First, because every mile over 5,000 in a week earns her extra money, and secondly because it gets her closer to her "A" seat certification and her own truck that much sooner. It's also good experience for her to get a realistic view of how hard you can drive - or not - and still make money. Remember, the goal is for us to enjoy driving a truck, not kill ourselves to make a living. It's looking like that can be done.
