So I got up yesterday and I knew I had a lot of work to do if I wanted to get finished up by Friday. I arrived at my first stop, a furniture store in Lott,TX around 7:30 AM and I was out of there pretty quickly, I continued on to a sausage company in Snook,TX and dropped one pallet of food, then onto Houston to deliver doors.
From there I had two more stops to take care of, furniture in New Braunfels and one door going to San Antonio. So I called the furniture store and found out they would be staying late, plenty of time for my three hour run from Houston which made my ETA about 4:30 PM. But Sears Home Improvement in San Antonio would only be there until 5:00 and their one door was buried in the front of the trailer behind furniture. So I pulled off into a truck stop real quick, moved the furniture out of the way and slid the door down and strapped it to the wall again and headed for San Antonio. I called ahead and let them know I was coming and I arrived about 4:30, and they were waiting for me with the door open!
So with that out of the way I headed up to New Braunfels, dropped this furniture off real quick and then went next door for a good ol' fashioned Texas BBQ dinner! Man those ribs were delicious! Then I headed back for San Antonio to the Petro truck stop and Blue Beacon truck wash, sat in line for probably over an hour but finally got the truck all shined up. It sure is pretty when its clean! Then I made my way on down towards McAlllen,TX for my final drop this morning, one pallet of food in Donna,TX. I made it all the down to the Loves just North of town and went to bed. Got up this morning and met the customer at 08:30 at a local flea market, they sell stuff there from November through April every year. So I finally got it all completed by Friday, even after getting off to a slow start. This is what a typical trailer looks like after finishing one of these LTL west loads. So we got it all cleaned up and pads folded, and ready for our next haul of produce.
