My run to VA was a long one, especially after sitting on I-81 for 5hours after a tanker truck rolled. The part that really pissed me off is the VA state police told us (about 300 trucks) to pull over on the side of the interstate and get some sleep for about 3 hrs, as it would take at least that long to clear the wreak. No problem, with one exception, and hour into my 3 hr nap, a VA State trooper comes beating on my door screaming about how I can't park here and orders me to move it. The did this to all 300+ trucks that did the same as I. Then to top it all off, they decided to route us arround the accident onto a VERY narrow 2 lane access road, then blocked off the on-ramp so we couldn't get back on the interstate, after sitting there for over an hour, they cleared the wreak and re-opened the interstate with us still stuck on the access road! Talk about pissed off.
However I finally made it to my customer grabbed about 4 hrs of sleep and made my delivery in Roanoke, then ran over to Lynchburg and delived my final. A quick run up north to Georgia Pacific I picked up a load going to Alabama for friday.
In other news, I talked to my mom today, god she is really going down hill fast. She was barely able to have a conversation as she constantly forgot what she was saying. I don't think she will make it longer than 6 months at this rate. I scheulded myself to take 4 days off over Mothers Day weekend to spend some time with her, might be the time time I get to.
