Yeah, I’ve been a part of a million “hot” loads myself. And when you arrive, it’s true that half the time you’re a day early! What’s worse is when you arrive and find out that the company has an entire warehouse stacked to the ceiling of whatever it is you just brought more of! LOL! Now that really makes you mad!

Not only was this a good lesson for new drivers to keep in mind, but I also learned a lot about horses that I honestly didn’t know! LOL!

Great story….well done!

Awesome story! Glad you made it on time. HA! One of the hardest things is knowing that when I finally get behind the wheel of my own truck, I will undoubtedly have stories like this eventually (hopefully later rather than sooner). I know I will be the safest driver I can, but feel as though it’s inevitable to make a bad decision or two along the way.

Keep it up, enjoying your blog so far.
