Boy what a trip this was... Tuesday night we decided to go ahead and get our reset in. We stopped in a small town named Kingman, AZ. We were here from Tuesday night until 3:00 am on Thursday morning.
This is the only place, other than parts of El Paso, TX that our internet service was almost "not working" and our phones were not in service. It was taking the internet about 5 minutes to load a page so I said the heck with this. Our refrigerator finally stopped working for good. Luckily, we had eaten just about all the perishables, so we're only out a fridge. The beating and banging these appliances take on the road, it's a wonder they last at all.
We left Kingman, AZ at 3:00 am and finished our trip to Irwinedale, CA to deliver our Volkswagon wheels. Our delivery was 8:00 am (pacific time). We arrived around 6:30 am, they unloaded us relatively quick and we were off to Baldwin Park, CA to pick up at 4:30 pm. We arrived in Baldwin Park 5 hours early and thank goodness they said they would load us early. Our 14 hours were going to run out at 5:00 pm so we would have run out of hours sitting at the dock. Joy! Joy!
We are en route to Lancaster, TX to drop this load at the terminal there. For tonight, we are in Thousand Palms, CA at a Flying J. There are little to no truck stops in the Los Angeles proper so it worked out well that we were able to load and get out of town!
The temperature today, here in Thousand Palms, was 108! I hear it's raining back home and cold. Just in case the company ask us why we were idling. Here we are in Arizona earlier this week.
