Off to San Diego

After I left Vern's house I headed out to the Pilot and filled up my thermos with the go-go juice and hit the road. Jumped on I-10 west to the highway 85 south to I-8 west. I ran out across AZ and stopped at the CA line and got the go-go juice for the truck at Loves. I like to fuel at Loves as much as possible because if you buy 1000 gallons a month,the next month you get unlimited showers and free drink refills. So I pretty much never have to pay for coffee or worry if I have any shower credits.

Anyway after navigating through the sea of trucks in and out of there I pulled back on I-8 and headed into CA. I crossed through the check point & weigh station no problems and proceeded across the desert until I came to the first border patrol check point.

I pulled up and rolled down my window and the officer asked me to open my door,so I did. He asked all the usual questions like " are you a US citizen?", "anyone else in the truck"...then he asked if the truck was mine, I said no I'm a company driver. He then asked "what company is that?" I'm thinking the one on the door dumbass, but I said B&L Transport. Then he looks at the door. Then he asked "what are you hauling?" So I said "doors" he was like HUH?!? ...I said DOORS, like the thing you put on your house. He's like oh ok....go ahead. Sleep better tonight America knowing your national security is in good hands!

So I proceeded down the road through the second border patrol station to the Acorn casino & travel plaza and went to bed about an hour east of San Diego. I got up in the morning and called the customers cell phone per instructions since it was black Friday they were on a skeleton crew. The guy tells me he is at the office and he will meet me out front if I call him when I get close.

So I did and no answer. So when I got there the young lady tells me he just left to go to a job site and only her and another young lady are there. They called him and he said for me to just unload them and they could sign for it. So I backed down there drive,blind sided around the building to there back door and brought out the big guns and unloaded the two doors myself. I was pretty proud of myself for that! On my way to San Diego I got a call from the produce broker saying he had a load ready for me to pick up over in Yuma AZ backhaul to Ohio.
