I am so tired. I wasn't going to pull out the laptop...but...

First thing is that I didn't sleep worth a crap. Happens frequently when I get the first load, early rise.  I dunno why, it just happens that way.

Getting on the road, about 120 miles into the trip, my manager texts me. First thing I thought was this load canceled.  Wrong, he then called me.  Uh, you should be getting back from this run on Sunday afternoon, right? Yes, as long as everything goes right.  Okay, well when you get back, you'll need to take your 10 hour break and then head down to Brownsville to pick up an empty. 

I didn't much care for that idea for it would have me leaving at around midnight, maybe 1  or 2 am.  But I just agreed to it and said okay, sounds good.

Then I get a text - you 2 modules on your training that you need to do tonight before it expires.  Okayyyy? 

Heavy rains storms - the type that slows you down because of greatly reduced visibility - on and off all day.  Up and down mountains - had to pay attention to speed going down the hills.  If I go too fast, I get a ding from the company.  It's whatever, I try to not get those things but it happens, but I kept on top of it today so I didn't get any.

Then after thinking half the day about the brutal schedule coming up - 2 nights driving most of the night long - I get another text: Brownsville cancelled. Yes!  Sure, I want the money, but not at the expense of my sleep and feeling nasty for days after having to do it 2 nights in a row. 

So, I stopped at a favorite grill instead of driving up the road another 60 miles today. I would have just driven out my hours to get far enough ahead to try to gain some time on the Brownsville run.

Anyway, I got on here to do these ridiculous modules. Training  the same things I have been trained on a dozen times at various plants, orientation and previous training modules.  Most of these plants make you sit down and watch a video on safety before you can enter the place. 

Well that's that. The modules are done, it's not late - 9:00 pm  but I'm out of it. Going to sleep.
