We aren't going to make it....

Well, things are looking mighty grim today folks.
We had to wait until 9am to leave the truck stop this morning in Ohio due to curfews for any loads wider than 12 feet wide. We still have about 65 miles to go in Ohio and then another 360 in Pennsylvania the way our journey is routed.

Yesterday we had to shut down twice due to inclement weather and then we had that curfew in Ohio. We finally were able to speak to someone at the job site and they want to be paid an additional $1000 for the crane to unload us on Saturday. That isn't going to happen. We are waiting again for another call back from him.

We both have doctor appointments in NY on Monday that we can't miss. We will have to see how the rest of the day plays out for now.

There is another driver from our company with another part of this unit waiting there in Gettysburg. They will not unload him until they unload our unit first. He left Wisconsin after we did, but he was under 12 foot wide and did not have the restrictions and the curfews that we were forced to follow. It sure makes a big difference when you have to stop running as soon as you run out of daylight, especially during the short winter days.

Our driver manager is keeping in touch with us. They know it isn't our fault and we did everything possible to get this load to our destination as quickly, but more importantly as safely and as legally as we possibly could.

Its pretty quiet in the truck today.............
