So boring or not - this is the view from the truck looking West on I10 in Louisiana at sunset, of course. After days of light traffic volume, things definitely changed today. Seems everybody has realized that Christmas is right around the corner and is out shopping. It also means every moron is out there driving around look for the damn mall.
I drove about 610 miles today, which is definitely more than I’ve done in while. My butt is sore, despite my putting a pillow under it. I’m about 490 miles from Laredo. Typically I would be home on vacation right now, but "we" took time off for the cruise. As soon as I MT in Laredo, I’ll ask dispatch for a load to South Florida so I can check on my mother who just had surgery to repair her shoulder. From there I’ll head home for Christmas/New Year.
Before I close, I just wanted to say that I was reading (yet) another (boring) trucking blog that “trashed” California. That’s all well and good, but the blogger (writer) is Canadian. That, I have a problem with. If you're American and want to trash California, fine. But a Canadian? Nope. Sorry, love it or leave it. An American trucker will be glad to pick up the freight and deliver here in the US. You can keep your truck up there in Canada. Ey!
