Well, this has been an experience! We were going to go to California for a delivery, but last minute change of plans, we met up with another driver and switch loads in OR. We then went to Texas... a block from the boarder to Mexico. We arrived at the loading dock in Lorado and they said they couldn't unload us until Monday... they stopped unloading deliveries at 12pm and it was 12:30pm. It was Friday and we didn't want to sit there that long! Jeff and I convinced the office folks in Lorado to take the load now and not wait until Monday. While we were waiting to be called to the dock for unloading... we went to a little Mexican diner that was in the parking lot of this docking terminal. It was like stepping into Mexico. A movie about Jesus crucifiction was on the TV and the family owned diner was taking orders for hungry truckers. We noticed they didn 't take credit/debit cards and we didn't have a lot of cash with us. Jeff pulled $6 out of his pocket and we split a combo meal of beans, rice, 1 taco, 2 cheese enchelada's. I think the owner thought we were flat broke and gave us some tortila chips as we were leaving-lol. It was very good food! Jeff and I have really taken advantage of being near Mexico... eating at Mexican joints.
This run was hard. We literally kept the truck rolling continually. We stopped to gas up... that is it. Not much time to enjoy the sites, but it is good money!
Our next stop will be out East. Our company doesnt usually go East, but here we go!
