DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS








Craig made his way to Fresno to pick up the satellite truck with a stop at the Company's drop yard overnight in Fontana. He was able to get some rest as they can not make the delivery of the truck until Monday morning. After an unfortunate event at the yard, in which Craig attempted to revive a fellow trucker who had suffered a heart attack, they proceeded on their way towards Texas.

Friday night was spent in Benson, Arizona, just west of the New Mexico border. Saturday they drove through New Mexico and along the border of Mexico to settle in for the night at Fort Stockton, Texas. As Craig told me, all three of the states they drove through all look the same, desert and cactus and not much more. From the pictures posted above, one from each state, you can clearly see what he is talking about.

Sunday night is being spent in San Antonio in the parking lot of a grocery store. They were able to drop the truck off a day earlier than they expected. They will not be able to get the information on their next load until the dispatchers are in the office first thing Monday morning. I'll be letting you know where their journey takes them tomorrow. Keep checking back for updates.
