Believe it or not, there are large herds of cows in the greater LA area. After dropping off my load this morning in Mira Loma I was sent about eight miles to Chino and passed several ranches with large numbers of cows and a certain, shall I say, dairy air.
The pickup is for the Michaels department store chain and is set to deliver in three locations in the greater Dallas area on Thursday. I can make it out there by Wednesday morning and I'm hoping I can talk my fleet manager into having me hand off the load to a local driver to spend HIS day on Thursday offloading at the three stores, instead of me wasting my day doing this.
Early morning traffic to Chino was a cinch. Slightly later traffic attempting to flee LA was a nightmare. Eventually made it to the welcoming lanes of I-10 in a drizzle that didn't let up until the Palm Springs area.
Ended the day in Eloy, AZ at the Petro. I was going to stay at the Pilot but I've been there before and figured I would try something different. Like the Chipotle Bacon burger I had last night. Didn't make much of an impression on me.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention, the place in Chino that I picked up the (loaded) trailer at had very, very tight spaces for them. I had to back under another trailer, put it into a different spot, then come back and grab the one I was after. First time I've had to do that.
