2 RV's to Draper UT (delivered)
... spending the night at Laramie WY
Mmmm - we can smell the bacon when we walk out of our room and we are on the 3rd floor on the opposite end of the building.
Before we get a chance to see anything else (we look at FaceBook first) we see someone eating Dunkin Donuts courtesy of our company. Then we see it on our company website ... free food all week.
We didn't get going until 9:30 local. BB had made the car reservation for 10 AM in case we had stayed a 100+ miles out of town. And that gets us in behind the deliveries of those that park in the lot overnight.
BB heads to the rental place and I head to the drop.
1st stop (for me) is for fuel at a grocery store for final fuel.
2nd stop is the drop. No one ahead of me. No one around, so I have to call the number listed on the gate. Someone is there within minutes. Someone different, they give me the OK to leave my RV so we can go get the 2nd RV.
BB gets there a few minutes later with the rental car and we head back to pick up her RV.
Back at the RV lot, the inspector is just finishing up when BB pulls in. Once she is parked we head inside the building this time to wait. It takes about an hour each here.
3rd stop is for food at the In-n-Out. We did talk about going somewhere different but didn't. We did get fries this time, it's been a while.
No work from anywhere today. Not in UT, CO or along the way. I even called my local dispatcher and the closest thing they had to me was heading to OR. The only thing they had heading to MN was in PA. That didn't help so we are heading home. We will still make enough that we could be done for the month. But I have committed to working local next week.
4th stop was the rest area in Lyman. Almost missed it, I thought it was a road side rest area and it was at the exit.
5th stop was the Loves in Wamsutter for the rest room.
Not much excitement today on the highway. We did see a couple of transporters. Later in the day we passed seven cattle trucks loaded with sheep.
6th and final stop was the Comfort Inn in Laramie. But first we head to McCallisters Deli. We have been stopping at Papa Johns, Chester's or Blue Taco's but IF there is anyone working at all they are out of menu items. We always find something at McCallisters.
There were no Dunkin's in Salt Lake City and the one in Laramie closes at 3 PM. But we have no looked and should be able to get something once a day for the rest of the week.
The long haul company is having daily phone meetings this week. We were at the drop this AM but the rest of the week we may listen in on the calls. My local company also has 'gift's' this week. One year it was a free shirt so that is worth stopping in for, it is only 15 miles from my house.

If no work shows up tomorrow, we may get to Omaha? Des Moines? We can cover a lot of miles at 75-80 mph. Des Moines is less than 700 miles, so less than 10 hours.
