We ‘slept in ‘ today and had breakfast at the truck stop restaurant but when we checked with our dispatcher we found out we had loads to pick up as soon as we could get there so we were soon on our way. One pallet to pick up in Rialto- that went fine. A truckload of Adidas sneakers to pick up in Mira Loma was not so efficient. Despite being the ONLY truck in this 50-door warehouse we waited for four hours before they started loading us- and it was another hour to figure out how to jimmy the over stacked pallets of shoes into the truck. Eventually we were on our way and this time, though we were once again in rush hour traffic we seemed to be going in the good direction so we never hit any snags.
We stopped for the night at a truck stop at the top of the grapevine on I-5. It was cool enough to sleep without the truck running. Especially after showers and a nice Mexican meal at a small restaurant across from the truck stop.
