Yesterday and this morning

Scott ran out of hours at a rest area in the middle of the day and needed 9 hours to reset. Was trying to sleep but said it was 90 degrees with 190% humidity. I told him to find a nice piece of grass and lay down. He said there was a nice piece of grass right in front of the truck under 4 inches or water. Guess he will sit in the truck. He has discovered he lover Tom Clancy wants me to pick some of his books up. I already have at least 1 so am set so far. Anyway that was yesterday.
Today he is on his way back to Dallas. Again with the new truck hope I hope anyway. He is very unhappy with his PC Miler but wants me to look up some stuff and see if there was a satisfaction guaranteed clause because right now he is lost because according to him and dispatch it took him off course. So need to understand how to set up according to dispatch and it keeps saying no such address probably need some type of new updated expensive software to make it work correctly. Okay I am cynical today so will shut up. BYE

Spending time in Kansas

He took off from Dallas for Kansas, delivered his load, sat and sat and sat. BORED and depressed. Then got another trailer to drop and then another and now is headed for Oklahoma City. Says it is raining really hard again. Don't think he is loving his job right now. HE says he misses everybody and wishes he had seen more people when he was home last. Wants me to check Hooker Creek and Knife River for jobs. Better do that today.

Another SCARY incident

So Scott is driving in this horribly, unbelievably, intense thunderstorm in Dallas/Fort Worth area and he messes up on a turn and hits a light pole. He breaks off the button for the pedestrians to push and the shroud over the light. Calls me, oops I just probably jeopardized my job. Calls the cops, risk management and his dispatch. Cop comes out, happens all the time thanks for calling, no ticket. Risk management and dispatch tell him to get his butt going towards Louisiana. Dispatch called back said return to Dallas. Scott calls oops sorry dear! They had decided that he would not make it on time, damn, so a husband and wife team took over the load. So as he is thinking he is going to get fired I keep telling him that he is going to get one of the new trucks to pick his out. KEEP THE CHIN UP. He called this morning is on his way to Kansas with a load for tomorrow morning. I said what no new truck. He said AT LEAST I STILL HAVE MY OLD ONE! Good point dear. Anyway here are some pictures of a monument that he took the day before but just sent yesterday and this morning.

This is a memorial to Henry B Joy the first president of the LINCOLN Hwy Association who had the vision to dream of an improved highway from coast to coast. Looks impressive though my computer hated how dark they were but Tina says my computer sees pictures darker than others. So if I am making these too light let me know.

Headed for Louisana

He is headed for Sulpher LA with a load to drop on Sunday. He is hoping this will lead to a stop in Dallas TX which is where all he new trucks are. Frieghtliner I think. Anyway he is hoping. Got his load early as was delivered early. Course it was delivered by the time he got there and he spent an hour waiting before he realized that it might be in the yard and got out to check. But during that hour he resolved some of the issues he and his PC Miler are having with each other. Like it is going to change, no. He has decided that when he wants to stop at a truck stop he just puts it to sleep until he is on the road that it wants so that it does not his words "freak out on him and freeze". So I think by the time he gets home again they will be friends. All he really has to do is program the stop in before he gets there and then it would show him the best way to head, but that may be too difficult for now. He says he took more pictures but has not sent them through yet. I had no idea he did not know how to save them before so was sending them as he took them. He now is technically advanced enough to save and send when he gets stopped somewhere.

Yep this looks like it pretty much takes him right through Dallas/Fort Worth TX. New truck and new land to explore sounds like to me. Well he just called again wanting to know what time it was. His watch is messed up because he changed something when he was here or something. Anyway says he is still in Colorado but boogeying on down.
