We take an over dimensional load going to Gillette, Wyoming. I quick check the weather forecast and it looks like Gillette is safe from any more blizzards for the next few days, this will deliver on Monday. We have been to this site before, its a large power plant. Although it is God's country there, it's pretty far off the beaten path. We know it's going to be a challenge finding something new in the area after this load, but it's pretty slim pickings, so we take our chances with it.
We get to our Laredo yard about 5:00 and get started on securing the load. After that its on with our over sized banners, flags and lights. As soon as we get our Texas permit in the morning, we can head out. There are five of these loads sitting in the yard, that means 5 drivers going to the same place, 5 drivers that will be looking for new loads on Monday. We will all be constrained to following the routes set forth on our permits by each individual state and numerous curfews.
Even if we did already have our Texas permit, we would have to wait for sunrise before we could venture out, and we are required to stop traveling come sun set.
Let the games begin!
