I went to my 0600 appointment in Ft Worth and got unloaded by 0700. I then had to go park on the road side and wait for my next load. It came around 0930. The load is a run of about 950 miles or so counting loaded and empty miles. I drove to Greenville TX, stopping for fuel on the way, and arrived before noon for a 1900 appointment. They put me in a dock and I was loaded early, around 1600.
That messed up my day in terms of hours to drive. I don't like to drive in the evening hours. It is to hard to find a place to park when it's time to. I drove as far as Texarkana Arkansas and will sleep here and get up early and drive; around 0430 or so. I like morning driving. I have the road to myself for the most part and I get to watch the sun come up.
I still won't make it all the way to my destination of Plano IL but the load is due any time Saturday anyway. I wish I could have started earlier though, so I could deliver on Friday before my dispatcher is gone for the week end. Maybe he will be able to pre-plan something good and long for the week end forme anyway.
I am hooked again on watching 'Prison Break'. I am in the middle of season 3 now.
