After dropping Drexal off at the vet's office (they love when he comes to visit. He is king when he is there.), coffee in hand, and the cat taken care of, it was time to go.
Pretrip done and seat belts on, Mark sends his Ready to Go message, mentioning he wanted to head toward Washington state.
On your mark! Get set!........and we wait. And we wait, did I mention that we waited? No load assignment given. It felt funny sitting in the truck....right next to our house. We were about to go inside and wait, when we got a load assignment. YAY! WASHINGTON HERE WE COME. ....WRONGO. Pick up a load in Tulsa and take it to St Louis. St Louis? That was going the wrong way. Oh well at least we didn't have to sit in front of our house, looking stupid anymore.
We made it to Tulsa. Picked up the load. And spent the night in.......JOPLIN. Yep. 2 miles from my workplace.
I couldn't help thinking... this is going to be quite a trip.
On a different note, I'm sharing my side of the truck with a new passenger. Meet Lil Bit. She is the luckiest cat in the state. My trucker found her in the middle of Hwy 69 and Hwy 171 intersection. If you were wondering, YES he stopped traffic , got out of his truck and picked up this small, helpless creature. Who said truckers were always grouchy, stuffy guys? She has been with him now for about 2 months. Not sure what she thinks of me, especially since I'm sitting in HER chair.
