Off to Vermont on Friday afternoon. North from Connecticut, through Massachusetts to the Great state of Vermont where there were actual Moose Crossing signs. I really wish I would have gotten a picture of that or better yet, actually saw a moose. We picked up a load of rolled fiberboard in multiple bright colors. I have no idea what you use fiberboard in bright blue and pink for but it was important to someone in Indiana. We only took the load as far as a small town in central Pennsylvania called Sayer. There we met another truck driver named Kris who has been driving for the same company as my partner for a number of years. He had our load. Apparently it was going to be a 3 way switch. We dropped the trailer containing the fiberboard and he dropped his trailer with its load. We hooked up to his trailer and he had to wait for a third driver. The third driver was going to take our old trailer and give Kris his.
Confusing but gave Kris and the other driver a chance to go home for the weekend and us a chance to go to the yard in southwestern Ohio to get our load to Pompano Beach.
Friday and Saturday are a bit of a blur with a ton of driving and swapping out trailers.
Saturday afternoon we finally made it to the yard. Her company takes great care of their equipment and the yard was filled with neatly parked trailers and trucks, a very nice office building and a nice shop for truck and trailer repair. They also have their own fuel island. We dropped the one trailer, she turned in her paperwork which I have learned is fairly extensive - attention to detail and good addition and subtraction skills are key, and headed to get our load of garage doors for Florida.
Next...off and running: 6 states in 2 days, mountains, ocean and accidents.
