Life Day 22322: Otiose in Ogden

August 23, 2008 on 10:41 am | In On The Road |

Not much more to add to since my last post. I spent a relaxing and enjoyable couple of days at the WWW and environs. The highlight of my stay was going to get my mail. I had a package from Scentsy, which I had ordered a couple of weeks ago. With the K9 kids in the truck, it gets a little “close” sometimes. The Scentsy products help alleviate that. They are 100% better than any of the “air fresheners” you can buy at the truck stops. They are a bit expensive, but they last a long time. Anyway, so much for the commercial, back to business.
I made myself available on Friday, the 22nd, at noon. The Planner for the Vegas area called me while I was having a late breakfast and told me to take my empty trailer to a customer in Henderson. I finished my meal, then did as requested. I was a dubious about dropping my empty trailer, but soon after I arrived at the customer, I was rewarded with two PrePlans.
The first picked up at our drop-yard in North Las Vegas and delivered to my old “stomping grounds” in Corinne. It was there waiting for me. I drove to Corinne, stopping only once in Cedar City for fuel and a snack. I arrived at the stroke of midnight, did the drop/hook delivery, and drove to my current location in Ogden at the Flying J truck stop. I was fortunate to find a parking space at that time of night/morning.
The second is the one for which I am now waiting. It picks up in Ogden, UT and delivers ASAP in Paris, TX. It’s supposed to pick up at 1600, but it is a also supposed to be pre-loaded, so it could be ready anytime. I’m hoping for sooner rather than later. I’m ready to go right now. Not a bad way to start off my driving week. Most of the driving will be over the weekend so it will be easy going for the most part.
