Well I finally got a call from dispatch about a load. I am to pick up a couple of truck chassis tomorrow morning in an Oregon town by the probably very truthful name of Boring. It's just a little bit East of Portland.
I've moved my rig South and am now at a truck stop between Tacoma, WA and Portland, OR about 57 miles from the OR line. As I can't pick up the load until 9:00am Pacific time, I'm close enough for now. It'll take me a couple of hours to reach the pick up location which means I can sleep until 8:00 am Central time tomorrow (if I want, but probably won't) and still make it there with time to spare.
Ah well, at least I have different scenery to look at now. Lots of hills and tall pines, but no rugged mountains in view from here. I'll spend the rest of the day and the evening surfing the net and working on my knitting. No pesky taverns to lure me away from the truck tonight.
It should be a boring evening as well as a Boring morning tomorrow.
