double duty...


the great mississippi river!


new orleans....another big city, only this one is on the water.


i made marc drive the other truck, and i followed him in our truck....(because you never know where someone else's hands have been.....marc sanitized thoroughly after the drive!)


so marc and i had to go do a "recovery"....which means that you pick up and drive another person's truck that has been abandoned for whatever reason. this particular truck and trailer were confiscated by the police after they were called to a truck stop for a "fight between truckers". we found out that the owner of this truck had been having a bad day, and for whatever reason, attacked the guy next to him with the window squeegee that is provided for us to clean our windshields. they are on a 6' handle, but other than that, just a squeegee. so the driver ended up in jail with assault charges, and we had to go get his truck out of hock at the yard, and drive it to a storage yard. (this happened in louisiana, so the tow charge was ONLY $335....which is cheap compared to most states.)
