Greetings from Akron, Ohio
We arrived here this noon in readiness for a class tomorrow morning at the FedEx Custom Critical office in Green, Ohio. We have been trying to get here for over a month but was never able to get planning to get a load here. We finally got a load to Cleveland Monday and decided to take today off so we could make the class.
We spent the night at a truckstop between Cleveland and here, got up, showered and after breakfast headed out for the Walmart that we usually stay at while conducting business here. First off, you should know that we haven't been here in more than six months. Plus we were coming in from a direction we never have before. Ron had programmed "Tom, the GPS guy" for the office. I programmed the truck GPS for Walmart. (We have a Walmart atlas that lists all Walmart addresses.) We got there and discovered it was the wrong store. So I set in a different Walmart--the only other one in Canton. Guess what! Still the wrong one. Back to the atlas. I found one in North Canton and programmed that in. No dice again! 3 Walmarts and nothing looked familiar. We ended up driving to the office and going from there. Once we got to the office it took only 5 minutes to drive to correct Walmart. Who knew that the address for this one is Akron? The office is in Green, 1 Walmart in Akron, 1 in North Canton, and 2 in Canton. All 5 locations are in a 10 mile radius. Why would we be confused or lost? We should have been here no later than 10:30! Maybe it's a good thing we took the day off. We don't need this much help getting lost! :)
Life is sooo entertaining when you live in a 96" sleeper truck 24-7 with your spouse. We agree that it's a good thing we like each other because life is sure interesting and getting better all the time. Until next time . . . . . . .
