It looked for awhile that Lori might give her trailer of Naked Juice to another driver. Bad weather in Oklahoma and Missouri slowed her down quite a bit; so much so that there was no way she could make the scheduled delivery time. She informed headquarters of her situation and they told her to come on into headquarters in Springfield (where she was already planning to fuel, get some more load locks and locking fuel caps, and spend Sunday night) and they would try to find someone else to take over the load right away. [NOTE: There were no load locks or locking fuel caps available!]
Unfortunately, there was nobody willing or able to take it so Lori headed out this morning while her fleet manager worked to get the delivery time pushed back. Lori, her fleet manager, and the sales staff have been trying to reach the first customer all day but no one has answered the phone. Lori is spending tonight in Zanesville, Ohio with another 225 miles to get to Claysburg, PA for the first delivery tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. She'll do the best she can to be on time but she doesn't want to violate the federal "hours of service" regulations on how much time she has to be off-duty before she can drive again.
