Monday morning, we were still in Clearwater. We thought we would wind up with a load Sunday night but that wasn't the case. Monday morning was an absolutely gorgeous fall day, so after we hung around the truck, we decided to take a short bike ride to pick up a few things from the store, knowing that we could be back to the truck if we were sent a load opportunity.
We started riding and went to the pharmacy across the way. On our way, we noticed that there was a bike path and decided to follow it for a while. It wound up going down by the Mississippi river. It was a wonderful ride and had good downhill riding but we knew that by the end we would be riding back up the hill. The picture below is a stream that feeds into the Mississippi along the bike trail.
After our uphill battle on the way back, we started to load our bikes into the back of the truck and received a load opportunity. We were dispatched and were on our way once again. We picked up clutch parts north of Minneapolis. The funny thing about this trip was that we had been there and done that before. It was one of our first loads that we had successfully picked up but were not able to deliver due to truck issues. Teams that we've talked to say it is rare to go to the same customers more than one time, it happens, but not very often.
I was very happy to be back at this customer because I had spent quite a bit of time talking to the guy on the dock and was hoping that he was there so I could see how he was doing. He was a musician in his younger years, meaning he travelled with a band all over, then he settled down and had a family. His wife had some health problems in the past and now they were getting a divorce and he was working on getting custody of his son and moving to a new house. Lots of other things he shared and I just was glad that we were headed there and I could see how things were going for him. He had also shared with me that he kept a very detailed journal that someday he thought he would put into a book. He said that he had kept one through all the periods of his life. As we left the last time, I encouraged him and told him to keep writing and it all would make a great book someday.
When we pulled up to the building there was another FedEx CC truck there. This was the first time they had been there. Their box was about as big as ours but they did not have a tag axle. We were hauling about 10,000 lbs and we definitely use our tag on the heavier loads. The other driver was worried and called dispatch (which was funny because that is exactly what we did on our first trip there, which is why I was able to talk to the gentleman on the dock for so long). I wasn't able to talk to him as much because they were busy. He got us loaded and I was able to ask him quickly how things were going and he shared that he had gotten custody of his son and they were in the midst of moving into a new house. He still cares for his wife and her limitations but felt that it all was too much for his son, so they both decided that it would be better if his son moved out and was with his dad. He said everything was crazy but it was all worth it to do what was good for his son. He and I both agreed that it was odd that we were back and were able to see him again. The last time we were there we picked up when he was there but it wasn't the normal shift that he worked and this time we picked up when he usually worked. I am sure that God had a reason for us to be there twice in such a short period of time.
The load took us back down to Texas. This time we picked up another state we had not been in, as we drove through Oklahoma on our way down. I think this trip is where we actually started getting our sleep down pretty good and were getting into a routine. Before we delivered, we were offered another load that picked up the next day. Once we delivered, we decided to stay in the truck stop in Laredo overnight and head to the pickup the next morning. We didn't pick up until later in the afternoon, early evening. This truckstop is pretty neat, because they have expediter parking in the front. We saw a few panther trucks, a couple of FedEx trucks and vans from both companies.
Laredo is an extremely busy freight area, trucks everywhere which I believe I have mentioned before. There is now talk, which I won't get into, that the United States is now going to allow Mexican trucks to deliver and pickup in the USA. It will be interesting to see how this will all work out. Currently, Mexico truck drivers are limited to a certain distance into the United States, with the new regulations the drivers would not be limited. Lots of talk on Expeditersonline about this particular topic.
Jim was sleeping and I was hanging out in the truckstop surfing the net and facebooking and of course people watching. I noticed a woman sitting not too far from me. At first I didn't really think too much about her and then heard her talking. Then she raised her voice and I looked over and found out that she wasn't talking to anyone, at first I thought that she was on a cell phone talking to someone but that wasn't the case. Then I noticed something else, she had a stack of clothes neatly folded sitting on the table beside her and a coffee cup in front of her. There was also about 20 containers of cream and about the same amount of sugar packets. I went back to my computer and continued to hear her talking very loudly and in some cases using some not so good language. Not really knowing for sure, I thought that she was probably homeless and maybe had some type of mental illness. I went back to my computer and was just listening.
Soon, I heard her ask a gentleman who was ordering at Burger King if he had some money to buy her a hamburger. He told her no, of course this was pretty much right after she had raised her voice and was using some vulgar language toward someone that wasn't there. I'm not sure why he told her no, it just might be that he isn't able to give, was afraid of her, had given all he could, was in a hurry, or maybe thought that it doesn't help her enough to give her handouts, who knows....there are so many times that I have turned down people to give them money because I have heard so many horror stories. Now, I give when I'm able and try hard not to make it a difficult decision because I've been taught to help those who cannot help themselves and I truly believe that Jesus died for everyone and the commandment that says love thy neighbor as yourself, I take to heart.
Feeding the hungry and looking after the poor. I know that God didn't give up on any of us and that is why he sent Jesus. In what I understand from the Bible, I want to not give up on others and I do not want to judge them. I know that I do sometimes, but I really feel that Jesus taught us to understand each other and that God made each of us in our own uniqueness and yes he has given us so many different people who understand his teachings better than we do. So I decided to ask the woman to come over.
I asked her if she needed a sandwich and she said yes. I gave her some money to get a sandwich. She decided to go to subway and got a footlong sub with all the fixins. At first she didn't know what to order and then she figured it out. She said to me thank you so much and God bless you. I told her God bless you too. Then she went and sat down, I shot her a smile and then she asked me, do you want half of the sandwich? She really caught me off guard. I told her, that's all right you save the other half for later. I continued working on the computer and looked up a little later and saw the other half of the sandwich neatly wrapped and sitting beside her clothes and coffee. She continued to talk to herself for the rest of the time I was there. Now that I think about it, I wish that I would have stopped and got another sandwich and sat with her for a while, I'm sure she could have taught me a lot, because just when I thought that I was doing something good for someone else, she offered me half her sandwich. It reminded me of the story in the Bible about giving. When a woman gives when she has hardly anything herself. I have no idea what it is like to be hungry or homeless or what it is like to have a mental illness and be homeless, but what I do know is that we are all God's children and He wants us to take care of each other and sometimes it is the homeless taking care of the ones who have a home.
After a good nights sleep we headed the next day to our pickup. This load I can not discuss because it was a secure load. What I want to share is what it means to deliver a secure load. In a secure load, you may not stop anywhere until after you've run 200 miles. The truck is secured, locked and sealed. After 200 miles, you may stop but you can not be any further than 25 feet from the truck. We also have to notify dispatch when we stop for any reason, even if it is going to be for just five minutes. For obvious reasons these loads are run in teams so that there is always someone available to be with the load. We are to be on the look out for suspicious activity. This type of load makes me feel like we are part of something secretive and very important. Customers will tell you that you are carrying priceless materials, meaning what we are carrying can not be replaced. Some things that might be carried are documents, computers with information, pieces for highly specialized projects and yes at times we do not know what we are hauling because it is determined we are on a need to know basis and we don't need to know. So, since it was a secure load, you are on a need to know basis and I can not discuss it with you or anyone else. We can not even talk to our family about where we are going, we just tell them we are on a secure load and we can not discuss anything about it. After we deliver the load, we are then able to touch base with them and tell them where we are and what we'll be doing for our next load. (as long as it is not a secure load). Once we delivered our secure load, we were off to our next load.
This load picked up in Virginia and delivered in Maryland. We were excited for this load because it put us in Maryland where we knew we would have time to spend with some friends. This is one of the best perks of the job. We were able to spend a couple days with friends that we normally don't get to see very often, about once every 3-6 years and usually it was because Mark's work brought him in our direction. Mark and Margot are great friends and as people go, there aren't many that come as good as them. We spent time catching up on our kids and family, ate great homecooked spaghetti with homemade sauce. It also just happened to be their son, Corin's homecoming, so we were able to be there to take pictures and help him pick out a tie to go with his shirt and suit. We were able enjoy our time together with great fall weather with a little driving tour and walks. Of course it was like we were young again, stayed up til the wee hours of the night (ok...midnight is wee when you are 40 something), Jim and Mark were able to jam with the guitar and keyboard while Margot and I shut the door so we could hear each other talk. We had an amazing time with them and are really looking forward to meeting up with them again when we are back in the area. We are really grateful that they are flexible and were able to spend so much time with us on such short notice. Mark is away a lot with his job and we were very fortunate that he was home
Our load from Viriginia to Maryland was electronics and was a company to company transport. Pretty uneventful, although the DC traffic was a little more eventful. It was just packed with traffic both ways, slow moving but at least moving. Jim and I both thought it was better than we expected. Mark shared with us that we were on the inner loop and there weren't very many times that the traffic wasn't heavy. We made the pickup and delivery without a problem although we tried to get on the other side of town before rush hour which helped us and traffic could have been much worse if we had planned to travel differently.
Our next plan was to try to get home by Thursday because our son, Casey was coming home from Florida. We were hoping to get to spend at least a couple days with him before he headed back out the next Monday and both girls were going to be home too. We had been out about 4 weeks so we thought it would be a great time to be home. Since this was our second time heading home, we knew we had to start looking for an opportunity to head that direction. When we were on our way to deliver, we had an opportunity to take a load to Georgia but we turned it down. As Jim put it, that is in the opposite direction of home. I was kind of thinking, you know it was a good paying load, you should have taken it and we could have gotten back up toward home on the next load, now we'll probably have to sit out a day because there won't be any others that are going to head home. Just as I was thinking that we were offered another load, none other than picking up in Virginia (almost where we had picked up our last load) and headed for of course...Ohio. Jim goes with his gut sometimes when we accept or deny a load, this time I'm glad his gut told him to deny the first one, so we could head home a little earlier than we planned.
We made good use of our time in Ohio. We stopped by the FedEx CC office and were able to pick up some paper supplies that otherwise we would have probably have had shipped. We were able to touch base with our trainer from orientation and let her know about our very first load which gave her a good laugh (Canada and hazmat, really...). It was a training day so we weren't able to speak to our contract coordinator (cc) or our recruiter, they were busy with the new trainees. One of our questions was about our uniform change and truck decals. Our wonderful security guard gave us the information we needed, they didn't have a definate time frame on either. Well that answered that!
Next stop home. Since we take so many scenery pictures while on the road, we decided that we would take some pictures at home and post the beautiful scenery in Ohio. Honey creek runs right through our backyard and I have included it in this post. Funny thing...when we are out on the road, I am always on the lookout for wildlife. When I get home I just expect our usual, deer, skunk, racoons, opposums, snakes...the usual. Well when I stepped out of the truck, I heard a bird that I had never heard before, it was an odd noise and having lived in our house for 12 years, I hadn't heard it. I quickly ran out to the back yard because I knew it was coming from the creek. I was just in time to see two bald eagles take off from a tree in our backyard along the creek. What an amazing sight!
While we were home the APU in the truck decided to quit. So while the girls were picking up Casey from the airport, we had to run the truck to Toledo and get the APU fixed. It turned out that it had been a filter that needed to be changed. As we were just about ready to leave, we decided to check the heat since it would be getting cold soon. Come to find out the heat wasn't working (the heat that was coming out of the APU, the actual truck heat worked fine), so back into the shop it went for just a few minutes. There was a wire that had come loose, so they fixed that and we went back home.
We had a great visit with all of our family including nieces and nephews. All of us were able to get together on Sunday night before we went out on the road again. Our family is pretty close nit and we try to get together as much as we can. I am so glad that my sisters started the "Let's hang out at mom and dad's on Sunday evening" (the only time we were all off work, or at least the majority of us). It was such a nice time, I was able to spend time helping my nephews with their school work and giving my niece a really hard time (which is my job when I'm home). Our kids were doing good and we were able to visit with them for a while. Casey had warned us that he was planning on visiting with his college buddies while he was home and had planned on taking Katie and Kira with him. Well, he wound up making that a family event and took two of my nephews and one of my nieces as well as his sisters. It is so fun to see them grow up and to also see them being able to stay connected to family. They all grew up together and are not only family but really close friends, so it makes sense that they all still like to hang out. Jim and I are so proud of our three kiddos and all of our nieces and nephews. They are all growing into such wonderful people. God has truly blessed our family and we are so glad that we are a part of such a great group of people!
Even though we planned to leave on Monday, we went back into service the Friday before, hoping that we would be predispatched on a load for Monday. It worked, we were predispatched on a load that went from Middletown OH to Indianapolis, Indiana, short run but paid well. The dead head miles were actually more than the actual run miles. I now only have to update on this last week's activities and I'll do that in the next post.
We are quickly approaching the time of year I love so much. Special time to spend with family. Today count your blessings and hug the ones you love! Life is never so busy that we can't spend some time talking to or being with family and friends. We are a social species, relationships are what we are all about! Love and laughter is the best medicine in the world, spend a little time with both!

Life is never so busy that we can't spend some time talking to or being with family and friends. We are a social species, relationships are what we are all about! Love and laughter is the best medicine in the world, spend a little time with both!
