Sunday. I arrived at the West Memphis OC at 0230. I fueled up, then parked. Lori woke up, and we went inside for a break and some food. West Memphis is the only OC whose cafeteria is open 24/7, and the lady on the midnight shift is always pleasant and willing to take special orders. I went to bed at 0300, & Lori drove out sometime after that.
I next awoke in North Carolina, and took over driving in Saluda. I drove us in to the Charlotte OC on Starita Rd. We dropped our loaded trailer there for some other driver to take into its final destination on Monday. We were supposed to pick up empty trailer number TA936507, but the fuel desk guy said the computer showed it had never made it here, and that it was still moving somewhere in Georgia. So, we sent a message to customer service indicating such, found an empty trailer on our own, TA943202, and hooked up to it. We sent in MAC19, Trailer Verification, to that effect, and started driving out of the yard. On the way down one row of trailers, we saw TA936507 sitting there. Obviously, it was not moving somewhere in Georgia. Oh well.
I drove TA943202 over to Kimberly Clark in Hendersonville NC, dropped it there, and picked up pre-loaded trailer TA946625. I drove I-26 to I-40, and stopped at the TA west of Knoxville TN near midnight.
