Hi,

Just me again, today I am in Yuma, AZ with no load for the weekend so far. As you might guess I am not real happy with this as I don’t have the miles this week to be able to eat next week. I am hoping this will change later today.

I was in Albuquerque, NM last time I sent out an update. I sat there through Friday got a load on Saturday that picked up in Flagstaff, AZ that delivered in Otay Mesa, CA (San Diego area) I delivered it early, was able to have dinner and spend the night with my son Mitch and his family, I got new pictures of them, Leah is getting so big. It is so great for me when I can spend time with the kid’s. I am thankful to Grace’s parent that always make me feel so welcome in their home.

On Monday I got a load out of there that I dropped at the rail in Los Angeles, CA. The company didn’t have a load available so I thought that that was a good time to get my truck into the shop for the regular service that needed to be done by weeks end. I took the truck to the Colton yard to have the service done. I knew that my truck would be in the shop for at least one day so I rented a car so I would not be trapped at the yard.

While at the yard I got together with my friend Marie both Monday and Tuesday nights for dinner. On Monday night I spent the night at Marie’s daughter Denise’s home and had breakfast and lunch with her and her 1 year old son Abram. We also spent some time at the park. Marie and I have been good friends for so long that her family feels like family to me.

Well yes I kind of got back to work. I picked up a load that had 3 pick up locations and it took 2 days to get the load picked up. That is the load I delivered here in Yuma this morning. I only got 310 miles out of it and took 3 full days of my time so it was a really crummy load. That is the only load I have for this next weeks check so I really needed a good load with miles for the weekend.

As you can tell it has been a really good week for visiting, a really bad week for working. That is all I have going on. It was great to hear from those of you the updated me on what you have happening. I will close for now and write later.

Love,
Mom

Hi,

I just delivered a load here in Albuquerque, NM. I drove all day today so I will shut down until morning.

I was in Colton, CA last time I wrote, I delivered that load in Walnut, CA the next morning and was assigned a load that picked up in Long Beach, CA headed to Auburn, ME. On my way to Maine I had a chance to see my Dad. He met me in Kingman, AZ for breakfast. We had not seen each other for quit a while so it was good to just spend some time together. I also had a late breakfast with my son Adam as I went through Columbus, OH. It was good to see both of them. I then delivered that load.

I then went to Warwick, RI to pick up a load that I delivered in Olive Branch, MS (Memphis, TN area). The next load picked up at the same company that I delivered to and I took it to Irving, TX yard (Dallas, TX area). I then took a load off the yard to deliver in Ardmore, OK. The next load I picked up in Oklahoma City, OK and brought it here to Albuquerque.

I have been moving pretty steady here lately. I wish I could say the same for some of the other drivers I work with most that I talk to are still sitting a lot. As the economy slows down it looks like things could get a lot worse. So for right now I am just praising God for my job and that he is keeping his hand on me. I hope that you are all doing well. You are all in my prayers.

Love,
Mom
