Memphis, then West Memphis

I got running early this morning, putting Fort Worth then Dallas behind me in less than an hour. I arrived in Memphis in the early afternoon, dropped off the trailer and picked up an empty to take back across the river into Arkansas, where our West Memphis terminal is located.

The skies were very cloudy all morning but not a drop of rain hit me until I crossed over into Tennessee, and it wasn't much. It is rather hot and muggy here... apparently, something like 50 people died in the area in the past few days when it was even hotter.

I'm put on a new load to be relayed tomorrow to the west side of Arkansas, deliverable on Tuesday morning. Best that could be done, apparently.
