Gulf Coast Reeling This morning I found out that the trailer whose 2-deliveries I had was late in getting out of the gate at the warehouse yesterday. It was supposed to be finished by 10:00 AM and instead I hooked onto it at 3:00 PM. Consequently, it's not our company's fault (nor any driver's fault) if an appointment is missed due to the trailer not being loaded in time.
My second stop wasn't too appreciative of the late appointment in spite of the fact it wasn't my fault for being late. In fact, I barely beat another truck to the dock--otherwise I would have waited for him to be finished unloading before I could back in.
Aside from all that, it was a great day for driving--sunny and warm.
Katrina's damage is just beginning to be assessed. Hundreds are feared dead (if not thousands). I will watch the news tonight...and be awestruck at what I see.
God grant the truckers, emergency personnel, and everyone else going in the damaged areas safe passage.
miles driven = 370
