I arrived at the receiver around 5:30am this morning and after checking-in and bumping the dock, promptly went back to bed. A couple hours later, I was quite relieved upon being awakened by a beep with a message letting me know I could go home after picking-up the next load. Awesome.
It took six hours and three-hundred dollars to get the trailer unloaded, and then I was on my way back to....I-20, exit 49; fortunately, this time I was not in search of a truckstop. I arrived at the shipper and pulled onto the scales, as is customary with recycling facilities, before being instructed to back into any open dock. Just as I was setting up to back in, a gentleman came hustling over to the truck to tell me I could drop my empty trailer in the gravel lot and pick-up my loaded trailer in the same. Awesome.
After scaling the loaded trailer, I was on my way home. Enter Atlanta traffic -everywhere: I-20, I-285, I-85. It was inescapable. And a pain. But I made it. I'm going to enjoy a few days off and spend some time with the family this weekend.
