Life Day 21340: Tallulah Tidbits
Continuing with the daily grind. On the 12th, I delivered the load to Mira Loma after taking a little time off at home (barely enough to re-start my 70-hour clock). It took longer than expected to unloaded there, so it put me behind schedule on the pick-ups for the load to Stone Mountain, GA. I didn't arrive at the first Shipper in Redlands until 1330. The appointment was for noon, but having called ahead, they were expecting it. It took an hour to load and I left there at 1445 and drove to the second pick-up in Ontario. I arrived there 1515. I checked in and was given a door. By the time I got back into the Shipping Office after backing into the dock, I was loaded. There were only 2 pallets for this stop. I left at 1600 and drove to Ehrenberg, AZ. This was another "border stop". A quick MMM walk and I was off to Phoenix, AZ where I stopoped for the night (that pesky 14-hour rule). I worked 10.75 hours, using 8 hours to drive 411 miles.
On the 13th, I left Phoenix at 0900. I drove to Wilcox, AZ where I had lunch and walked the MMM. I left there at 1430 and drove to El Paso, TX. I took an hour break here, then drove to Pecos, TX where I stopped for the night. I worked 10.5 hours using 10.25 driving 632 miles. It's nice to be out of California where I can make some progress.
On the 14th, I left Pecos at 1100 I drove to Tye, TX (just west of Abilene). I took a half hour here then drove to our Terminal in Lancaster, TX where I fueled and walked the MMM. I left here at 1915 and drove into Louisiana to a Rest Area at MM-95 on I-20 eastbound. I stopped here for the night because I was out of hours (11-hour rule). I worked 11.5 hours utilizing 11 of them driving 680 miles.
On the 15th, I am progressing nicely on the load to Stone Mountain GA. Currently, i'm taking a break in Tallulah, LA. I should arrive in the Atlanta/Stone Mountain area tonight, barring any inclement weather. There is an ice storm in the region, but I don't think it will get this far south. I won't be able to deliver until tomorrow AM because the Customer is only open until 1700. I won't arrive until later. I'll lay-up somewhere close for the night.
