Generic title

Well after busting booty last week to get home on the weekend I figured I would be out awhile. Nope. My last run brought me back to Springfield and I find myself with another weekend off. All is not lost as I have 3000 miles for this week.

I went as far north to Michigan and all the way south to New Orleans, LA. I had a delivery in Robert, LA from Paw Paw, MI. The kind lady asked me where it's going. I replied "To some guy named Robert in Los Angeles, CA." By her look she was only slightly amused at my potential ignorance. I am good at aggravating women.

This week may have been a nightmare for me a year ago due to my lack of knowledge because I had some actual difficult driving adventures to deal with. Including the hardest rain ever and a docking at a customer that involved me blindside backing in a question mark shaped area. I would have taken pictures or video but I have been lazy on that part. I might make a new video this weekend. I am already starting to run out of ideas.

Oh yeah I almost forgot. Just to make sure I don't get to cocky about being a better driver I had to use the CAT scale three times for my load of soda. I scaled the first time and parked next to a car carrier. I come back to find a bunch of people staring at the back of the car carrier. Another truck backed into the car truck and a very large trucker was super peed off. Apparently I was distracted by the drama unfolding next to me enough to slide my tandems five holes the WRONG direction. The look on my face when I saw the reweigh ticket was probably a little dopey at best. After I reslid and reweighed I was right on the money but not before wasting a half an hour of my 14.
