No time for vacation this week though… we delivered the load, said goodbye to our dear friends, and hit the road to Louisville, Kentucky – headquarters of our new company Mercer Transportation. We had a plan to make stops along the way – gathering everything we would need for the job. First stop was Salt Lake City. There we picked up all kinds of equipment – things like chains and straps and lots of stuff that I don’t even know the name of yet. I have a feeling I will soon be learning what all of it is though. Next stop was Kansas City. That’s where we are today buying our brand new step-deck trailer. We are excited about our new opportunities and the change of pace ahead of us. Later today we’ll be in St. Louis getting the tarps needed to cover some loads. So things are shaping up well for our two days of orientation next week. I’ll update you when we’re finished in Louisville and on the road with our first Mercer load. Meanwhile, enjoy some of the many pictures we took this week in the scenic western portion of the country.
