Mush, Miss Teschmacher! Mush!
San Antonio, TX
And so, it is north I return. I delivered in Laredo this morning and got a load out heading to Cranbury, NJ. It's a good trip, I just hope I manage to stay south of any snow as long as possible.
Laredo cracks me up. Let's see, a little background. American Commercial driver licenses are not valid in Mexico. So, all the freight that goes across the border either goes across on a train, or is carried by an american driver to a border transfer agent where it is picked up by a mexican driver who has special dispensation to cross over to pick up the trailer. There are hundreds of these border transfer agents in Laredo. The vast majority of truckload freight crossing the border to or from the eastern half of the United States crosses here. So, needless to say, there are TONS of trucks bopping around Laredo. And these Mexican drivers, God love em, drive like maniacs. It's very different than any place I've ever been before. I enjoy going there though. It's always good miles and an easy drive.
God, that was a boring story. I may delete it. Than again I may not. I try to be real, folks ;-)
