In honor of those iconic billboards along I-40/Route 66, we’re spending tonight in Tucumcari, NM. (Actually, it’s just a coincidence but I’ve always liked those billboards ever since I first saw them as a kid during family vacations to Missouri.)
We left Dodge City, KS early this afternoon with a load headed to the L.A. area. Tomorrow will be a FULL day of driving so we can get as close to L.A. as possible tomorrow night to give us plenty of time to make our 6 p.m. delivery appointment on Tuesday.
There was a bit of excitement in the truck stop parking lot as we were arriving. As I was trying to back into our parking space for the night (with directional assistance from Lori) she witnessed another truck backing right into the front end of another truck. Unfortunately, the driver of the parked truck was standing up inside his cab and was thrown into the cabinet, which hurt his neck severely enough that they had to call an ambulance to take him.
This same driver almost backed right into us as well while we were coming into the parking lot. Luckily, I got passed him before he got the parked truck. It is very true that most truck accidents occur in truck stops.
