2 RVs to 1,000 Oaks CA (Wednesday)

... spending the night at home

We didn't find work yesterday so we both are hitting re-fresh on the load board today while doing other things. I had wanted to get another hour done in my garden but it rained overnight and was still raining a little.

They did put some things out but nothing we jumped on.

Finally after 2 PM, BB says they have added some CA trips. (Not sure why she didn't call them instead of tell me, those trips go quickly)

By the time she got out to the dinning room, I was calling and got two. Dispatch is telling me about the trips and BB can't hear them and instead of telling her, I just wave her off.

Once I'm off the phone I tell her that we will be getting no-tow pay for this customer AND we will be getting hotels paid because there is no heat or AC in the RV's.

MELT DOWN !

When BB first started going with me, we took some buses to San Diego without AC and the first day almost did us in. We were not prepared. But this time we know ... and we have windows that can open and we have a extra day to get there so we can run early and shut down.

After about fifteen minutes, we finally realize that ... the RV area likely is what does not have heat or AC. But the chassis, drivers area still should. I call back to dispatch and that is correct ... :)

... melt down slowed :)

There were two other RV's going to CA that we could have grabbed that would have been closer to the bus shipper ... but with those we would not have gotten the extra pay for no-tow and hotels.

Now I can go outside and garden. And somewhere in here I need to pack.
