Overweight again? The truck that is...

After the prom, we headed over and got a PM done on the truck and headed to sleep. The next morning we get a load out of Amarillo. So we deadhead out of Dallas up to Amarillo to pick it up. At first it goes good. We get there, pick up the load, head to scale it and find out we are overweight. At this time it is midnight and they tell us we are second in line to get reloaded. Come 0400 we are finally reloaded. Originally we were at about 2000 lbs over on our drives. So we hook back up to it, go back to scale his again, and we are still overweight by about 220 lbs. ARGH!! Head back to them again. Second in line to get reloaded again. We finally get out of there around 1100 am when we got there at around 2100 the night before. Not a good day at all. And we are at just a little over a 1/4 tank of gas. We got to Springfield and I HAD to get gas. After talking to another driver we realized that our 5th wheel wasn't where we thought it was. Just tired and didn't realized it. So we got it moved and hopefully that will help some of the overweight problems that we have been having. Maybe we will be more balanced now.

Anyway, I am exhausted and don't know if I am making sense. I'm gonna go and wake J up and tell him it is his turn to drive. OH, we are currently at a rest area just west of St Louis,MO and we are headed to Johnstown,NY. I'll write more when I am more coherent. :)
