Ok, we just can't figure out why anyone would choose to live in this part of the country. I guess we're just a couple of rednecks after all! We picked up our oh dark early load yesterday morning and got it delivered early. We got to a truck stop, got a shower and took off to pick up another load going to Nova Scotia. Since our truck doesn't have a permit for NS, and we don't have passports to get back into the USA, we couldn't take it there, but could take it part way and then swap it with another truck. We headed to Hazleton, PA and met the other truck about 2 am and got the load moved to their truck.
Finally about 3:30, we got to sleep in the local Walmart parking lot. We woke up to the phone ringing about 10 am. It was a load picking up about 35 miles away and going to Mt. Holly, NJ. Five hours later we were unloaded of the 3000 pounds of cellophane and headed to Maryland to stage for a load for tomorrow.
We are going to Washington, DC tomorrow morning. That should be fun!! We got one of the last parking spots at the only truck stop in the Baltimore area. We're about 40 miles from our shipper and figure it will take about two hours to get there tomorrow morning.
We'll be taking this load about 300 miles west tomorrow and are really happy to be leaving the eastern seaboard. Too many people, too many vehicles. Texas would be nice............

Love reading your travels. I chuckle everytime I think about sleeping in a truck at Walmart. It's like camping for a living! And having Wings delivered to the truck...what a hoot! I envy you guys. And miss ya. Oh, if I could only tell you what's going on here. Un-freaking-believable.
Hugs,

Well, the girls thought the DC postcards were cool! With all that north south driving, you needed some east west to take the edge off!
Crazy here, on call and taking on more work for intake...now having to do Adult abuse investigations....Sorry all, but I'm not good with the old farts.
Hope to see you soon!
