Weekend of fun, then the shop

The original plan was to have me take that load from the boonies of Arkansas and t-call it in our Kansas City, Missouri drop yard. By the time I arrived, a message sat on my satellite unit telling me they had no freight to move me out of there so I would have to sit on this 450-mile load all weekend.

Oh hell no.

I went back and forth with the weekend folks for a while and they eventually saw it my way and let me t-call it then deadhead up to Omaha. My truck has been needing some fixes for a while now and the local Volvo dealership finally has the parts in, so into the shop goes the truck and into a hotel go the cat and me for a night.
