Truckin' business is slow going right now - Terry was stuck in Bakersfield for 3 days, then got a short run to Las Vegas then back to Fontana CA where he was stuck another 3 days. Today he has a load to Red Bluff. With the slow economy it is hard to get loads with any miles to them and at this time of year the customers want to keep their inventories low so don't want deliveries until after the New Year. Then from the customer's point of view, sometimes they have deliveries they want to get made but it is hard to get trucking companies to do them because if the destination is too far across the country, the truckers can't get back home in time for Christmas.
It's like a catch-22.
On the home front - just working!! LOTS!! One bright spot was Terry Jr's band concert where he played a short solo! He plays a trumpet. He did GREAT!
Our 6 inches of snow melted and now we have rain and ice. Every few days we have something different. Keeps me on my toes (and shivering!)
Where's Terry?
Where's Terry? Portland, OR to Fort St John BC and Grand Prairie ALB Canada
