Right now I am just waiting until it is time to leave for my delivery in Arlington, Texas, at 9:30 tonight. The reason for the wait is to make sure I have enough time to start driving back with the empty racks that I will be getting. Hopefully on Saturday I will be able to drop the racks in a drop yard and then head somewhere else with another load.
Ever since I crossed into Illinois yesterday morning, I have been in shorts and loving it. Last night I needed to run the truck to keep cool, it was a little humid and the trucks on either side of me were both idling so it was just too noisy. It sounds strange, but it is easier to sleep with my truck idling than with the windows open and the sounds of other trucks drifting in, quieter too.
I had some fun with a new cashier at the Love's travel center in Marion, Indiana, on Tuesday. I had to go inside to pay because he key pad was not working on the pump, and when I was giving her the information to process the transaction she got a little confused. When she asked for my truck's license plate number I started off Paul, Victor, Frank, and she started typing Paul. The other cashier got a good laugh from it as well, since I was using the names to stand for the letters on the plate, PVF. This is common on phone calls and when using the radio to make certain that the correct letter is heard. A single letter spoken can be misunderstood easily, but a word is harder to mistake.
I just set up my phone to be able to post directly here, so I will be able to do short posts, and I think send pictures as I feel the need.
