pics 2


Here is the pic of the fuel island on the way out of the Laredo terminal and yard. These were taken Jan 2. We figured it would be pretty busy with everyone coming back after the holidays, but it wasn't really. We delivered a load about 5 mi from the terminal. Spent the night, and waited for a load today. Laredo is truck heaven. It is one of the few places I have seen where I think trucks outnumber cars. It seems like every trucking company has a yard or terminal here. Alot of loads come up from Mexico, and vise versa. Mexican drivers move them back and forth across the border, we either bring loads here or deliver them all over the U.S. from places like this and Calexico, Ca.
The load we are assigned now has us at Eagle Pass,Tx (about 120mi NW of Laredo) waiting at a warehouse for a load from Mexico, headed to Battle Creek, Mi. We were supposed to relay with it at 4pm, its now almost 6pm. Just waiting!
We ran into a classmate from the Crowder class at Laredo today. Mac is doing good, and still runnig hard. Also heard from my finisher, Jim (Fist 0f Five), and he stopped in while we were there. Kinda nice to run into people you know when you're out here.
Hope to meet more of you and see ya out here. Give a shout when you see Roadie and Wingz!
Cheers

Roadie and Wingz:
I'm glad to see that you all are doing well. Hopefully, I'll be out there in my own "Red Racer" in a couple of months.

Drive safe...
