Welcome to Joyzee

Last night and today I made the trip across PA to get to New Jersey. Goddamn there's a lot of hills in Pennsylvania! And tolls sure aren't cheap. Thank goodness I can get a Comcheck to get money for the tolls in advance or I'd be following all those little ass two lanes roads over or driving way out of the way to stay on a non-toll interstate. Heading in this morning wasn't too terribly bad...but heading out this afternoon SUCKED! Pouring rain and idiots all over the place. I've said for a long time that the rain and snow brings them all out on the roads...they can't help themselves. Major slow down at one point. Why? Because too many cars wanted to get off at one exit. And you have the ones that are in the middle lane who decide at the last minute they want to get off at that exit too...so they tie up the traffic behind them so they can get over to that exit! Oy vey!

So anyway...this morning I dropped a load of ice cream. And of course I had to be carrying my favorite flavor...double chocolate brownie. Mmmmm! Drool! Delivered it to some company called Jack & Jill Ice Cream (never heard of them before). As usual with these little company's...they don't have a lot of room for getting backed into the dock. Argh! Got some help from another Continental driver who happened to be there at the same times as me.

Then this afternoon...headed over to the Chiquita distribution warehouse. Yes...I have a truckload of bananas. And I could smell them as I was shutting the doors. I love anything flavored banana. So twice today I had loads of some of my favorite foods.

I gotta say...New Jersey must want people to stay in New Jersey. You can drive into Jersey across the bridge for free...but they charge you to leave. I had to pay almost $40 to get out of there!

And now I'm stopped at a Petro for the night. Which just so happens to be right next to the Love's truck stop I parked in last night on way to New Jersey.   There is a LOT more parking over here at the Petro. Will have to stop at the Love's in the morning though to fill up the reefer fuel (and might as well top off my tanks while I'm at it). Then cash the Comcheck for the toll money since I'll be hitting the toll road first thing in the morning.  I'm pretty much out of my own personal funds now since most of them went to tolls as well. Well...time for me to spend a little time doing some web development that has been waiting for me to get done. I need to earn some money to hold me through till I get a paycheck!

Aloha!
