In California, Again

We are in Barstow tonight, at least for a few more hours. We are 75 miles from our delivery point in Fontana. We did a beer load to Montana the first of the week and then got a flour load back into Ca. We had the choice to drop the load Saturday night/Sunday morning and go to Milwaukee, Wi, ICK! Or we could deliver our load at 2 a.m. Monday morning and then get a killer load to Greensboro, NC. The Milwaukee load had numerous drops on it and would have taken us forever, plus it would have put us up into the winter tundra that is Wisconsin. We chose the one stop Ralph Lauren load. We pick up a loaded trailer Monday afternoon and then drive 2500 miles and drop the loaded trailer at Polo/Ralph Lauren in Greensboro, grab an empty, yes we don't have to wait and unload - WooHoo - and hoof it to our terminal in Hickory about 80 miles away and wait for a furniture load coming from there to another one of our terminals back on the west coast. We should be in Greensboro by Wednesday evening, but we probably won't be able to drop the trailer until Thursday morning, but that is alright, that will give us a load out of Hickory Thursday night and that will be our weekend load. It will give us about 5000 miles in 5 1/2 days. That is a good week in truck driving, especially lately. Freight is really slow for everyone, so we are thankful for what we get, but is sure is nice to have a good week mixed in with all the bad to mediocre ones.
