Don't Sleep - Go

Delivered hay to SW Hay Exchange in Boyd, Texas. The weather was stormy, and we had found a load going out of Ennis, Texas that didn't pick up until the next day, so we dropped the trailer in the barn, and spent a stormy night at the Loves in Rhome.

Then we drove to Betafence in Ennis, Texas to pick up a three drop load of specialized fencing bound for Las Cruces, New Mexico, then Norwalk and Costa Mesa in California.

The first drop didn't deliver until Monday, so we spent the weekend in a nice Best Western in Weatherford, Texas. This after checking into possibly the worst room ever at a little place near the truck stop called the Sleep Go Motel. This place was so bad... the bed was worn out, the walls filthy, smelled like cigarettes, and worst of all our boots stuck to the carpet. Not to mention the tiny old shower.
 
Shiver. Needless to say we got our money back.
 
We delivered the first drop to Las Cruces High School in Las Cruces, New Mexico. This is a giant new school going up that has been under construction for over a year. Then we drove on to deliver drop two the next morning in Norwalk, California before going on to Costa Mesa, California.

As we worked our way through the deliveries, we came up with a load out of Chino bound for Lake Oswego, Oregon, which would get us home for Christmas.

We also managed to get a local load of steel sheets going from Riverside to Fontana that helped out, since we managed to forget to deliver a small box that belonged to the stop in Costa Mesa, and we had to go all the way back to get it to them.

Then drove out heading for home. We sat in LA traffic for a long time, since it was rush hour when we left.
