Tuesday 07/05 Arrive Miami about 0400 for a 0700 unload appointment. They unloaded us and then reloaded us for the return trip to Lebanon.
Wednesday 07/06 Arrived Lebanon TN at abt 0500. Dropped trailer at yard and picked up a trailer loaded for San Antonio TX.
Thursday 07/07 Dropped the trailer at SA at abt 1700 and deadheaded empty trailer to El Paso TX.
Friday 07/08 Arrive El Paso abt 0900. Drop trailer and bobtail to Austin to pick up trailer at repair facility. Of course, trailer that has been at repair all week with nobody noticing the brake chamber hanging down from the axle. Takes a couple of hours to repair. Leave for Brownwood Tx load trailer bound for El Paso yard about 2300.
Saturday 07/09 Pick up other trainee's tractor and trailer in El Paso about1200 and leave for Lebanon TN. Snuffy's A/C goes out on the truck in the middle of the west TX desert. We had to leave him in Arkansas because the clutch on his AC compressor seized and we had to get back.
Sunday 07/10 Arrived Lebanon TN abt 1200. We leave tomorrow at 0800 for Elizabeth City KY and Harrisburg PA.
Total mileage for first week a little over 6000.
Strangest sight: A new looking upholstered piano bench sitting upright off the shoulder of the road in the desert at milemarker 199 on I-10E in Texas.
