It's The End Of The World As We Know It......

And I feeeeeeeeel fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeee.


Every Friday morning, at 8am, I receive a phone call from Homer confirming my delivery route for the week.

For years, it was always questionable as to which route I would be hauling. More often than not, it was my beloved trip to the NE. Then, when the Fisherman abandoned ship, the money load undeniably became my baby!

So, the Friday morning call became more or less just a courtesy...


This morning, at 8:02 am, the phone rings..."We are down to you." says Homer...

"huh??"

"It is your turn!" he replies.

"Wha??"

"Your trip is taken!! You need to pick something else!..."

"Who.... what........Huh??"

"JH took your trip! "

"Holy Happy Cows!! This guy does not do New York! What is up with that?" I respond in disbelief.

I am still reeling from the shock, but life goes on... Every good thing must come to an end eventually, right?? Let's hope not! JH has taken the load before, but usually he will brave the concrete jungle once and then steer clear for many moons... So, I am hoping that will be the case this time as well.

But!!, on the other hand....maybe it is time for me to stick a little closer to the house...I mean, you know, now that there is someone lurking about.

The change will not affect my income, which is a good thing! I will deliver a quick Alabama run on Monday and then proceed to New Jersey later in the week... I will be pulling a Crane Trailer, which actually pays more due to the fact that the driver has to operate a crane to unload it... Yes, I am multi-talented!

I will post pictures next week of the Crane Trailer, as I am sure you have never seen one before. I had never seen one until I began hauling for the Aluminum C0.. It is actually pretty neat... You would be surprised as to what all is traveling down the interstates if you could see inside the trailers!!

Oh, did I mention.... My first delivery this week will be in Bachelor Number One's hometown...
