Caught the Bed, Now We Can Rest!

What a week! (And it's only Wednesday!) We finally got to Shawnee, OK on Tuesday morning at 4AM. We drove around the hospital looking for the other truck we were supposed to meet. Remember now, they had an 8 hour head start! When we couldn't find them, we called dispatch and asked what was going on. Believe it or not they found out the other truck had stopped to "rest" in Tulsa, OK which is 2 hours back up the road. We had actually passed right by them! Dispatch told us to just sit and wait...the delivery time was set for 9AM and the other truck should be there by then. So, we went to sleep (zzzzz) When we got up at 9 we still did not see the other truck....at 11AM...still no truck. We called dispatch again and after doing a little research they called us back and told us the other truck had come, delivered the bed and left again. They claimed they didn't see us. You know how easily a big straight truck blends in at a hospital!! Oh well, alls well that ends well, right? We were released from the load and are going to be paid the same as if we had delivered the load ourselves (Tim never even had to open the trailer door).
