We are stuck in West Memphis, Arkansas due to a clerical error, Matt got his driver's license taken and we have to go to court on Thursday to get it back. We had to post over 500.00 bond or he would have gone to jail...crazy!
So we brought the onions from New Mexico to Mississippi. That night the generator that runs the AC went out so we we going to just idle the truck but the engine kept shutting itself off about every 20 minutes or so. Nasty heat wave, y'know...over 100 degrees every days and low 90's at night so we had to have air. Matt and I took turns staying up to keep the engine going. Our delivery appointment was at 7am. We got in the door and they unloaded but rejected 20 of the 50 pound bags of white onions because they said "low quality"...they looked fine to us but whatever. We called around and found a local food bank to donate them to. Went to our next pick up of Tyson chicken (frozen) that was supposed to be a double drop in Illinois and Ohio. They didn't have the load ready like they were supposed to so we were 4 hours late leaving which left it really tight. We got to the weigh station here in West Memphis and got pulled in for overweight. It was a light load and we were running late so we didn't check it before we left but they loaded it all in the front so the drive tires were over. When they pulled Matt's license they said it was suspended because of a speeding ticket from 1999! This was like, 2am so nothing could be done until the court opened up. We got it all straightened out this morning; the DMV lady said, "Oh, sorry, we didn't update our records correctly" and she fixed it immediately. So here we are in a hotel hanging out....showers good!!!!
Matt says I'm not allowed to say "ADVENTURE" anymore!!
