Eight hours and still waiting for the load to be ready in Mt Crawford, VA. (Not exactly sure what the load is but the company makes Silk soy milk, International Delight coffee creamer, and other dairy products.)
It's quite frustrating to plan out your driving/break schedule and then have it completely screwed up by having to sit and wait and wait and wait while the trailer is loaded. You would think that a company that was that far behind would at least call and let somebody now. When we're King of the World, then well make that happen. In the meantime, we'll just have to deal with it.
Lori has let headquarters now about the delay but since it's the weekend, none of Prime's sales staff is around to call the receiver and reschedule the delivery time. Oh well, all Lori can do is drive until she has to take a break and see what happens.
About This Site
This blog is primarily intended to keep our family and friends up-to-date on where we are and where we’re going as we drive around the country as long-haul truckers. But it’s also a chance to share some observations about life on the road and life in general.
The title is a reference to one of the things we find so attractive about driving a truck (which weighs 40 tons – 80,000 pounds – when fully loaded); it allows us to travel all over this great country of ours, see the sights, and get paid while we're doing it!
