Isn't it nice we're having weather?
The temperature rose something like twenty degrees today. Of course I was moving south, and I probably crossed a front in the process, but still...
I had to pick up an empty this morning. And apparently there wasn't one within sixty miles. At least that's how far they sent me. To a warehouse that was locked up for the weekend--safe and secure behind its high fences and firmly closed gates, not to open again until tomorrow midnight. Not useful.
So I drove another ten miles or so, to a yard that had ONE empty trailer of ours. Another hour who knows what I would've found.
As trailer hunts go, though, that wasn't too bad. I've spent most of a day before, wandering a city and poking into lots the dispatcher SWEARS have empties available. At least I save the next guy a stop. Sometimes. If he has the same dispatcher.
Tomorrow I'll start late--because the customer wants the load late. And I'd really like time to find a parking place before it's against the law to be driving. So I ought to get a good night's sleep tonight, at least.
Hope you do too.
