That was a load of insulation going to a Tacoma, Washington ice rink that was being remodeled and it needed to be fully tarped. Ugh! Just after we swore off doing any more tarped loads – we do this! It turned out to good learning experience for us and we were pretty happy with our accomplishment when we finished. Off to Washington we went and delivered it Friday morning.
One day off and we picked up another load that is headed back east... and IT needed a full tarp! We had no idea how much work is involved in this operation until we started with this company. We really do need to lose those tarps though. Jorge has to crawl around all over the top of these loads to get the heavy thing just right while I’m strapping the bottom part down so it doesn’t blow off. It is as much fun as it sounds! This load is some kind of humvee parts for the military that we are taking to a body shop in Akron, Ohio to be painted and then take down to Frankfort, Kentucky. We’ve been doing this job for almost eight years now and I still cannot figure out some of the logistics of it. Like why can’t they paint these things in Washington where we got them and then we can just run them to Kentucky? Why the extra stop in Akron? Hmmmm… like I said, it doesn’t make a lot of sense sometimes but they are paying us to do it so we will do just that.
We are keeping our eye on the calendar as our much-needed time off approaches. We’ve been on the road since mid-July and we are ready for a break in the action.
