A bunch of useless crap
Published on April 30, 2007 By MasonM In Blogging
I checked out of the hotel at 10:00 this morning and went over to the yard to find out about the status of my truck. They said it's supposed to be ready some time after lunch. Cool.

I unloaded my stuff from the van and turned the key in to the shop. I then checked in at the office. My worker's comp check had finally arrived and the office had loaded the money onto my fuel/payroll card. I endorsed the check so they could deposit it into their account.

"R" in dispatch said that he had a fire truck for me heading for Key West, but that it won't be ready to load at the factory until tomorrow. He also said that I should keep that info to myself as he had several drivers wanting loads in that direction but that he had saved it for me as I haven't been home in so long (and I always help him out when he needs it).

So I grabbed the keys for a van, different one as the one I'd been driving was needed by our parts runner, and headed back to the hotel. I had just checked out an hour earlier and was checking back in. The desk clerk just laughed and said "Long time no see".

The shop is supposed to call me when my truck is ready to be picked up down in Milwaukee. Until then I am back to relaxing in the hotel. But at least now I know that I will be heading towards home some time tomorrow.

Should have told the clerk that you just could not stay away from that hospitality!

Good luck on the return trip.

yeah.

One of the ladies who does the housekeeping said that many of the local cab drivers had been asking about me since my extended stay here last month. I guess they miss the tips.

heading for Key West,


I wish I was heading to Key West. If I could I'd give my left...well no, not that but let's suffice it to say I'd give a lot because I'd really, really, REALLY like to go there for awhile.

Yeah Key West is a pretty nice place to visit, but it's also a real pain in the ass if you're driving a big rig. But at least it's getting me home, more or less. It's a pretty long way from there to my place up near Tampa.
