Catawba via Lawrenceville

It was imperative, according to my instructions, that I not be late for my 7am appointment in Calera, AL this morning. I arrived last night and was only the second truck parked outside waiting for the mornings appointments. Upon awakening around 6am, 15 additional trucks had come in and parked. Great, it's going to be busy. So, I checked in at 6:30 and was backed in and ready to unload by 7:00. The rest of the trucks soon followed and all the docks were full. Trucks everywhere. Thinking it might be a couple hours, I decided to hop in the back and take a little nap. An hour or so later, I awoke to find most of the trucks gone. By the time they finished unloading me and I got my paperwork, it was 2:30pm. A grocery distributor, no less. I headed up to Birmingham and got loaded with no problems. I'm supposed to be in Catawba by noon tomorrow, and I'm thinking I might try to get there tonight. I stopped at home to eat and shower and now I have to talk myself into getting back on the road. We'll see how that works out.
