Sick On The Road

I’ve felt it coming on for a day or two, and now I’m sick out on the road.

Being sick out on the road is even less fun than when you’re at home, but I’ll just have to work through it.

Too Sick to Film Much

Because I’m sick, I’m mostly focused on driving and haven’t recorded much video, so I’m including video from two consecutive days of vlogging in this video.

Not COVID-19

Because of when I’m finally getting this video posted, I want to assure everyone that this isn’t COVID-19 related!

Here’s a synopsis for each day in this video:

Sunday, New Year’s Eve 2017

We rolled out of the Pilot Travel Center near Dunnigan, California and drove all day until we shut down at the TA Travel Center near Coachella, California.

Monday, New Year’s Day 2018

We’ve got about four hours of driving across the California and Arizona desert to make delivery in Phoenix.

Shipper Fail

After getting to our next pickup we wind up spending the night parked at the shipper because of a problem with the load.

Still Sick and Still Working

I’m still dealing with being sick on the road, but I’m getting better.

And after the shipper fail last night, I’m off to get a different load, but I’ve missed out on the load to Minnesota that I wanted so I could visit my daughter.
