Last night finally ended this morning around 4:00 a.m. A person can only take so much aggravation. It's still my belief that dispatchers, sales people, and anyone else that is in the chain of moving merchandise should have to ride in a truck for a month before assuming their position!
We left West Memphis, AR this morning and headed to Birmingham, AL and then northeast to Atlanta, GA for the night. We traveled Hwy 78 between Memphis, TN and Birmingham.
As we entered Birmingham I couldn't help but remember spending months here when I worked with BellSouth. I couldn't help but take a picture of the place several of us called home back then.
I would have never thought way back then (15 years ago) that one day I be back in the city but rolling through in an 18-wheeler.
Funny how things change.
You never know what you're going to run into when you stop at a truck stop.
Today, as we stopped to clean the windshield (that looked like a bug masacre had occurred) and I could hear Christmas music playing. It was so pretty.... it didn't sound like it was coming over the intercom... but it took me a minute to find it. Trapper got back into the truck and asked him where it was coming from. He pointed out the door back towards the fuel pumps.
At first we both thought the guy was playing for tips... but it turns out he was a driver for JB Hunt. He was walking around the fuel pumps playing this horn while he was fueling. Awesome.
He was starting to get quite a crowd gathered around... but then he was gone. He fnished fueling and was off to entertain someone else.
Our day ended in Tyler, GA, about 60 miles south west of Atlanta.
Looks like we'll be in Greenville, SC tomorrow night and hopefully home by Monday afternoon!
