Luv'n It
There's nothing like being at home, enjoying your last day off for a couple weeks, wondering what's in store for you when you leave the house the next day. Well, I had a great call from my dispatch this morning.
I pick up a load in western WV on Rt 2, which was originally supposed to be taken to the yard in Indy. Instead, she called the load planner and asked what the reason was, since I was just coming off hometime, with full hours and able to deliver on time. So, she got that changed and I'll deliver it as well. Instead of having 119 empty miles + 332 loaded miles, I now have 119 empty miles + 2,381 loaded miles (the load delivers in Santa Fe Springs, CA).
Not only is that load great, but they'll pretty much have to send me back home, since in 2 weeks I'll be taking a weeks vacation. But, it's gonna suck going across the desert this time of the year. The a/c is good, but it'll get a full workout on that trip.

Ich... Thought I'd see what kind of weather/temps I'd be seeing over the next few days on the drive over there. Santa Fe Spgs isn't bad, highs in the low 80's, low's in the upper 60's. Then I checked the desert. Needles' current temp is 91f @ 3:30am local time. The lowest high temp for the next 5 days is 111, with lows in the mid-80's.
Hope I don't have a heavy load - the truck's gonna be sweating.

If I spot her out there, she'd probably be a sweaty mess though.
