Last week went pretty well on our Florida run. We were on schedule despite the late departure and made all of our deliveries without having to inter- line them. Had nice weather and got to stop twice during the week, actually stop and sleep/ shower and enjoyed a good BBQ place we discovered. Our pick-ups went smoothly and even rescued a solo driver who couldn't make it back to Denver from Nashville in time with 9 pallets, which filled up our truck completely.
We got into the Denver terminal Sunday afternoon and got into our new car for the first time and drove home. We get home and both of our boys and the new wife are making us a steak dinner with all the fixins. It was awesome! We got to spend the evening with them and sleep in our own bed...for two nights. I'm telling you what, for the first time since we decided to drive a truck, this was the closest to a 'weekend' we have had. I got some shopping done, bills paid and some quality time with the family. We are both relaxed and each of us got a 34- hour reset.
Left yesterday at noon and are now in Ohio ready to make deliveries. I have been up since...9 pm last night, just had a great breakfast. I see a pillow in my future...zzzzzz
