Seattle, Washington to High Point, North Carolina
We made a trip from Laredo, Texas to Green River, Wyoming to a Chemical Company. It was a mine that mined soda ash. Just a couple of miles away we picked a load of the soda ash that had been processed for food use that was being shipped to Fairbanks, Alaska. We carried it to the dock in Seattle. There we picked up a load of tables and chairs that we took to High Point, North Carolina. From here we are headed back to Laredo. After delivering today we had to sit because we had run out of hours. We only have 6 for tomorrow so we won’t get far. Then we start picking up more hours the rest of the week. We are to be in Laredo Saturday Morning in time for Ike the Hurricane. We had 3450 miles for the week on our trip to Seattle and 3800 miles for last week to High Point. Of course this is the reason we ran out of hours. We have started with 1570 on this trip. If we can get a load before Saturday midnight then we can make it another good week.
We really enjoyed out trip west. We have now been in 37 states trucking. We did Washington and Oregon so for me personally I only have two states that I haven’t visited; Maine and Rhode Island. Shelly has been in them but not some of the other South West States.

How weird, Maine and Rhode Island were the only states my husband and I never got to when we were delivering boats before we switched to reefer. Now we stay West Coast only. We'll have to get there on our own in the coming years.
