So last weekend I got bribed with a load to Georgia............the catch: I had to put my truck in the local shop that wreckd my truck and didn't tell me. So ok I took it. Hey, a whole winter in the snow will make you do things for alittle warm weather:) So my truck is suppose to be ready by 12 cause I have to drive 2 hours to pick a load at 6 with a 25 hour turn around and its a 14 hour drive plus my 10 hour break I'm only rocking an hour to spare. My trucks not ready til 4:15. I get in my truck and the mechanic got grease all over my rugs and all my bedding!!!!! So of course I lost it. My positive attitude just goes so far but your greasy self got in my bed, oh just too much! Ruined $150 worth of stuff. So my company gave me $100 after I lost it. So I get to my pickup late and wouldn't you know the dck was behind a building that ran a horseshoe driveway around to the back, the road was only big enough for a car and I had to manuvere around 3 trailers, a yard truck and a car trailer:/ It took the 2 1/2 hrs t get loaded which blew my delivery right out thewater. Get down to GA and can't deliver then the next day 6 hours to unload. Well I was enjoying the warm weather so I wasn't mad at all however when I got on 75 and hit spring break traffic for 3 hours it was wearing on me lol Then I get on the loop(285) and have a 4 wheeler try to run me off the road several times cause he was trying to squeeze his truck in my lane. I ended up having to call 911 cause he tried to ram into me several times and got in front my truck and slammed on his breaks! Then I get to the fuel island to fuel and a flatbed blew a tire under the pumps. I thought fr a minute it was a gun shot lol Days like that you just wanna shut down and got to sleep but no you can't when there's a load to be delivered. Gotta love trucking:)

I hit the same traffic in GA and couldn't figure out why on a weekend until we ate at the TA a couple blocks from the customer and all we could see was out of states with college apparel on. It was killer for my first major traffic. Even through LA on 101 wasn't as bad.
