Yesterday pretty much turned into a waste of time. Around four in the afternoon I found out about my replacement load, which I picked up this morning. I had just enough time left on my fourteen hour clock to get to a Flying J in Carney's Point, New Jersey, to spend the night. Then up bright and early to slip into Aston, Pennsylvania to get loaded. The bad part of this is that I deliver in Freedom, Pennsylvania tomorrow at noon. So this week I will have driven a grand total of three hundred ,or so, miles in three days. The initial delivery doesn't count since those miles will be paid on last weeks check. I did try to get them to relay the load to someone else for the delivery to keep me moving, but they weren't able to find anyone.
My next load might as well be towards home, since this week has pretty much turned into a waste of time. Well next week I will be available to work over the weekend, so we will see what happens.
One good thing about the load I delivered Monday, was that it finally got me into Delaware. It was one of the few states in the lower 48 that I have not been to yet. That just leaves me with a list of 8 states that I haven't been to: Maine, Vermont (I think), Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. I might get to knock off the first two driving for Falcon, but the rest are highly unlikely. We really don't go that far West, ever.
Well now I will just kill time here until I take off tomorrow for Freedom, Pennsylvania, with a load of pizza boxes for Papa Johns Pizza.
