Christmas is coming,,,I think

Well, from the Hallmark card warehouse, we were sent to a Conway yard in KC, MO. Conway is a LARGE freight company that bought CFI somewhere around Oct. One division, the truckload, is being folded into CFI, and after the first of the year we will all be Conway.
Anyway, we were given a 4am pick up headed to Conway in Blythe Ca. another apprx 1350mi before 1am the next day. We got there about 11pm, whew, time to spare, but tired. Slept some, and had a 4am pick-up headed back to E. St Louis. 1657mi, by 2pm the next day for a relay at a Pilot truckstop. That means the trailer is going on somewhere, and we just meet another truck, un-hook, switch trailers, and he is gone. We waited for another dispatch. We actually was going to ask for a down day, but got a dispatch as soon as we sent in notice we had made the relay. It was for another 0400 at the Conway facility in St. Louis. We did manage a couple of loads of clothes then headed over to the facility, and dropped the trailer we had, and got some sleep till our 4am call. This one is headed to Conway in Newark, NJ. Looks like we are stuck running Conway runs. They are notorious about tight schedules. We had hoped to start heading in the direction of Wisc, but NOOOOO,,too soon I guess. Anyway we have to be there by 12:30am tomorrow. Its a short run, only 954 mi. No Iron Butts on this one, lol.
I drove the first 4hrs, then Kim took over on this one. I am right at minimums on time avail, and Kim has some. So after she drives 10hrs, giving me my break, I will drive the rest of the way. Besides, I get to take us into the New Jersey area tonite. That should be interesting.
While typing this, our Qualcomm chirped a couple of times, and when I looked, we had a pre-planned trip after we drop this load. We get to deadhead over to Baldwins, NY, which is on the south side of Long Island, then head to Superior, Wisc. FINALLY, headed where Christmas is supposed to be this year. An 0700 delivery on the 24th, means we should be in Ironwood that afternoon at the latest.
I think Christmas, AND a couple of days off are just around the corner now.
