I got my stop off in Kansas City the other day and headed to Springfield, MO and parked at the TA and got unloaded Monday morning. While parked at the dock there I fell asleep and had a very weird dream, one where you don't realize your dreaming because it seems so real. I dreamed that I had woke up and I was somehow back in a Navajo truck. I was freaking out trying to figure out how in the hell it happened. I was very depressed and I took my truck and was driving it all over the grass at the terminal and shit. They gave me a load of beer to deliver and I just ignored it then they wanted to know why I didn't deliver my load and I was like I don't give a F%^&, I'm not supposed to be here, I hate this place! Then I finally woke up and I had to get out of bed and check to see that I was indeed still in my Pete, and I felt a big relief it was only a dream, or more like a nightmare! Maybe they're putting something in that flavored water I'm not sure, I'm trying to cut out all the soda and junk food so I just been drinking the flavored water from Wal-Mart. LOL

After I got empty there I headed down to Oklahoma City for my final stop at Associated Wholesale Grocers there, my "appointment" was for 2030, of course so was about 100 other trucks... On the way I stopped off in Tulsa and had lunch with my buddy Andrew Marshall there at the QT truck stop.





































I got to OKC and parked at the TA until 1930 then went down to the warehouse and trucks were backed up clean into the road already. I just made it in the gate and got checked in and everything stopped because the staging area was filled up and it wasn't until after 2030 they started calling trucks into the dock, eventually they moved me and a bunch of other trucks to another staging area so that the trucks in the street could check in and get out of the street. So I could see already this was one messed up operation. Eventually I got called into a dock and was there until about 0300 before I finally got out of there. Now I had a pick up at the caves in Carthage,MO at 0800, needed to be in Delphos,OH ASAP. I made it up to Carthage and got loaded at the caves about 0900.















I delivered that load in Delphos early Weds. morning and the final stop in Cleveland at 1000.
I went back to the yard and turned my truck into the shop to get my A/C fixed. I figured out why I didn't have any heat or bunk blower also, the fuse was blown that controls those things.
Also my CD player quit working, not sure what's wrong with that..LOL It just wasn't my trip, I was either burning up or freezing! I'm loading out tomorrow morning in IN for NJ then bring a load of bananas back to OH Sunday and I'll be home again until Monday night.
