So near yet so far

Even though she was less than 10 miles from home, Lori had to spend Monday night in the truck after making her delivery. But that's okay, Mike came by after work (with dinner) and they spent the evening watching the final episode of "The Bachelorette" (one of Lori's guilty pleasures!).

Tuesday morning it was back over to the repair shop to have the APU looked at. And, of course, it worked fine! The techs let it run for an hour or so but it never stopped or overheated. Oh well, we'll see if it continues to work when she's out on the road.

Lori let Cheryl, her fleet manager, know she was ready for her next assignment, so she sent her back to the Wal-Mart cold storage facility in Riverside to pick up a load headed for Sparks, NV which is just east of Reno, the "Biggest Little City in the World."

Lori has mixed feelings about this run; while she loves driving along Highway 395 through Bishop and the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains, most of the road is only two lanes with lots of hills and curves.

The load is due Wednesday morning and Lori is "pre-planned" to pick up a load in Salinas, CA after that. But, that could always change!
