Out on the truck with Hubs

From time to time I get to hop on the truck with hubs for a round or two.
We originally left Tuesday, for A three stop in texas; Austin, San Antonio and Houston.
Then we were to reload in Baytown, but the company that ordered the truck decided they couldn't fit their product into the trial because of the quarter inch rub rails on the bottom. Seriously?!  We sat two and a half hours for them to do lunch, them a meeting and THEN they tell us they can't use us. Talk about non/use of the truck! do we basically sat wasting our time for. Itching.  Finally got a load out of a Houston the next morning, which they wanted up Ron seminole, OK by 5pm. Yeah that wasn't going to happen.  The product t (plastic trash cans) were hand loaded and it took them almost 2 hours to load, which means we didn't get out of there until 9am. Okay, so yeah, technically it takes about 7 hours to get from Houston to Deminole, however, that's not taking into account the fact that if we go 70mph (which is what's the truck Ian governed at) hubs risks his fuel bonus for the month, nor does it take into consideration the TRAFFIC in Houston and Dallas! Oh and let's not forget that truckers have a mandatory 30 minute lunch break that must be taken.   And did I mention stopping for a atheism break can take 15-45 minutes depending on the craziness at the truck stop?  So needless to say we only stopped once, and made it up there around 5:30.  Talk about a long exhausting day!  But we did it and the receiver was really nice.

Anyway, we made it to the yard, dropped the trailer, bob-tailed to get another trailer that a driver left and then grabbed out pickup, bought a few groceries, ate a sandwich and went to bed, utterly exhausted.  This morning we got up, took our pickup to the Flying J and grabbed showers and coffee.

Now we're set and ready to head to Denver!

I know, Boeing.. but I'm getting to the good stuff!  I picked up some beautiful pale yellow yarn to work on a baby set for show inventory.  I also picked up some size 10 crochet thread to work on the maxi skirt I've had requests for.  I'm excited to see how it works up. I'll post pictures of my progress, so check back or check my Facebook.com/TraceysTracery
