Hot Off The Line

I just got off the phone with James and speaking of 'hot off the line'. He has been sitting at the Elgin plant since 11:00 a.m. this morning. He is there to pick up a couple of sweepers for the city of Calgary. Now the company just finished putting the equipment together this morning so they are brand new. About an hour ago the company just moved the sweepers into their paint booth to get them painted. Once painted, they then need to take them out and put on the decals and other sundry things to get them ready for hauling.

At the present time, James figures he has another 4-5 hour wait before they load him. The company loads up until 10:00 p.m. so he should be okay but it will be cutting it close.

Meanwhile poor James is getting tired of just sitting around doing nothing. He has watched a couple movies and ate a ton of junk food so far:-) After finishing up talking he was going to drop his trailer and go for a sight-seeing tour in Elgin, Illinois (just driving around).

Hopefully James will be able to make it back into Minnesota prior to shutting it down tonight (early tomorrow morning)!

He definitely didn't make a lot of miles today.
