The weekend in South Florida was ok, but agonizingly boring. It is very frustrating to sit in a place with so much to do, but no money to do anything. I was so relieved when Monday morning rolled in to finally get back to doing some work. We went straight to our delivery point in Miami first thing at 7am, what a backing skills test that was! Got that unloaded, and I drove off for Davenport, FL. Got there unloaded, and loaded at the same place, then drove to Jackson, GA. With a little bit of creative logging I managed to do 672 miles in my 11 hour alotment for the day :). Not an easy task to do in Florida traffic!
We unload 2 stops in Atlanta in the morning, then load in Atlanta to go to PA. Hopefully they will have a good load waiting for us up there. We aren't supposed to deliver until Thursday. Atleast we are for the moment, doing more moving then sitting.
While driving aross central florida to cut over to 75, I was reminded of why I love driving a rig so much. For as far as I could see, where orange trees set a fire by a beutiful sky starting off firey orange fading to deep majestic purple to black. As much as I really dislike where this country is heading, it is a beutiful and majestic land.
Careful with that "creative Logging". I always teach my students that it is better to log it like you do it instead of forfieting a weeks pay to some state DOT officer.
