2 RV's heading to North Carolina (Sunday)

... spending the night at home

We talked last night, we talked this AM. The weather is to 'iffy' to head to CA. No cars out of MT. Less work in the northeast and if I call that dispatcher they will want me to wait for a bus and we want to keep moving.

Also another driver contacted me this AM, the company is finally going to try to have drivers bring RV's to the border and someone else will take them across. But I'm not sure how long before we have to make a commitment. The problem I have with committing to doing a trip some time in the future is then we are limiting ourselves on what we can take between now and then. My local company has been doing that forever. Drivers that can't cross the border stage the trucks at an oversized lot, usually at an airport, then another driver just keeps moving those trucks until they run out of work.

We call at 8 AM and get right in but I can hear the phone ringing in the background. They also tell me about the Canadian runs, right now there is a group of 17 that are going to be run that way. They do not all need to be run that way but enough need to be to make it worth the person on the other ends time.

We are going to NC. Two different locations because that is what there was, where there was a car. By the end of the day there were two going to the same place but we had already committed.

We could have left today but I spent most of the day getting my paperwork in order so I can get paid for the last two weeks. The 2nd week paid much better than the first, twice our daily goal instead of half our daily goal.

Plan is to leave Sunday AM, drop BB's RV in Selma on Tuesday and pick up a rental car and drop my RV in Wilmington NC on Wednesday. If there is not anything coming back from NC we are heading home. We have the car reserved.

It was about 3 this afternoon when I finally got my paperwork done.

We did get our rental car back before it was due.
