It wasn't hazmat but, it was miles. The kind I like too. Not too long and just enough time to make it from point a to point b. None of that three days to go 500 miles stuff I had been getting lately.
I arrived in Dallas late last night and spent the night outside my receiver. The Unloading process went off without a hitch this morning and again, off to the nearest T/A to have yet another tire replaced. I seem to been having a run of bad luck with trailer tires lately.
When I received this trailer from a swap earlier in the week it had a nail in one of the tires and I just didn't have enough time to get the needed repairs done due to the limited time on this run. So each morning and at least two more times throughout the day I had to air the tire back up to keep it going until I could get to a shop to have the work done.
As usual, the line was over four hours long. By the time I got in and work was completed, there were no loads to be found. All of our load planners go home at five except for one. Just in case that desperate shipper calls in the middle of the night. So it looks like I'll be spending the night in Denton.
Oh well. Guess I'll have a nice quiet evening. Maybe that hazmat load will come tomorrow...
