Still in Laredo. Still enjoying the hospitality at Mariott Courtyard off I35. Maybe tomorrow my load will make it across the border. I have learned from this experience. NO more TX trips unless the money is right, including a little extra.

You need OVM to spend more time off the road!

So that's where maple syrup comes from?

Good idea. Now I know what to get my wife for Christmas

I am told that customs closed at 3:30 so I got a room a Mariott courtyard for 55, couldn' sy no to that.

Still here 24 later. Last word was that freight is at the border but broker has not sent paperwork. Your thoughts about Laredo loads seem correct!

Well.........still waiting 12 hrs later! They said try back in the AM - maybe???

I am hoping a Bolt driver at the Bolt docks would work better, but...... On the bright side, I would be stuck in a small box with my wife of 43 years, yup - that's the bright side

Getting my first Laredo lesson. Waiting 4 hrs for NC load and they say it is "on it's way" across the border "shortly"

Lunch at Rudy's BBQ in Laredo. Lean, thin slices beef brisket smoked on premises, God awfully good!

Out wit missus right now. It would seem my ears are out of shape: why did you turn here?, why did you do that, ?, do you think you should be eating that?, are we stopping at the mall?, don't you think you need gas?!!!

My Transit is 350 longbed hightop 2015 cost 39 sales tax included. I was going to get something different and the EO community talked me out of it. There isn't a day I am not greatful that I chose bigger!

That's where we went

High top roof? 1 ton rated @ 9500 GVW? Price is fair. Can you put more down to get payment below $400. As you know, 5 years from now it may have 500k miles so you should try to pay it off more quickly. Just an old man's opinion

Tuesday San Antonio, Wed SA to McAllen, today McA to Brownsville to p/U, now dropping in Loredo. Texas is like the Roach Motel, I got in but I can't get out!!

Anyone have any luck getting a load in the Brownsville area?

You are right, but, we are the only Bolt unit in the area. This will test OVM's theory that Bolt has contacts all over PS having Tamales for first time. Note to self: When the mexican counter person says the green sauce is mild, know that she is comparing it to the sun

Didn't take long, leaving San Antonio with a skid of hardwood flooring headed to McAllen

Welcome to San Antonio. Spent some time here back in '69. Let me tell you about a conversation from the first day of basic training: Drill Instructor: "Airman, where is your hat?" Me: "Sir, in my pocket sir". DI: " Why isn't it on your head?" Me: "Sir, my head won't fit in my pocket sir!"...
