Today started out fairly good, after driving my eleven hours to get here for my first scheduled appointment time I got unloaded fairly quickly at the GM plant in Arlington. I ended up going to two different docks at the plant but was still done within an hour and a half of getting there. The problems started at my next stop. This place is operated by Penske Logistics, and I can finally say that there is something worse than Ryder to go to. The lot is small and cramped, and there are trucks everywhere in here. So much so that it is actually difficult to maneuver. Half of them are parked in fire lanes.
When I got here I had been awake for almost eighteen hours, so was a little cranky when they said to give them my cell number so they can call me when they are ready. In hindsite my reaction wasn't diplomatic, I left and went to get some sleep. After getting caught up somewhat on sleep I can back and checked in again and have been around here ever since. I really needed that sleep though, sleep deprivation and driving are a really bad combination. I will likely get some more before I take off out of the area.
I did actually get in a dock as I was typing this, not to bad, about eleven hours after my appointment time, which was actually within my ten hour break time. When ever they get their stuff off of me, it will be off to the third stop then back towards the north. I haven't slept enough so far today to drive far tonight, but I will get out of the Dallas area before morning if I can.
