Trucker's Log, Saturday June 13th, 9:00 P.M.
I tried hard to make the entire trip in one leg, but lack of sleep prevented me from making it. Stopping at a truck stop, I had hoped it was early enough in the morning to fall asleep, and I thought maybe my fatigue would see me sleep through the heat of the summer. I, was wrong. I slept for four hours, and woke panting. I rolled around my sleeper bed, kicking off my blankets and the like before out of frustration I got up. I got an energy drink or two from the truck stop and got back out on the roads.
Once I got to the Tramari where the cobra was to have it's weapon systems removed, I sat in the plant's break room preparing to bid on another load and soaking up the cool air of the air conditioner when I saw a bid on a load that was already sitting outside. A load of pre-cast concrete floors going to a Sansbuilders in Hamburg.
It wasn't hard to convince the management that since I was already there, I could take it. It wasnt paying much, but it was only a 3 hour trip. I drove into the evening, again admiring the beautiful skies that the setting sun provided. My phone went off a couple of times, It was Steffani. I'll see what she's wanting when get somewhere I can stop. I have a thing against texting while driving. Not that I could anyway, tablets are big, awkward things.

Saturday, June 13th, 11:45 P.M.

It was a hop skip and a jump to the Sansbuilders in Hamburg, where the workers were burning the midnight oils working on a brand new hotel. They seemed ready to put in the flooring on the first few floors, as the steel support beams were already in place. After I got unloaded, I decided to check my tablet to see if maybe something was going to Rostock. Just as I suspected, there was nothing. I almost forgot to check my phone to see what Steffani had said;

Steffani: Hey there! I just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out again. I have a couple of days off, thought we would get together. You know, just friends. I promise.
I smiled. That wouldnt be a bad idea, really. Steffani is a pretty nice girl, itl be fun to spend a little down time with her. Not that I won't be getting much time to begin with, after all, I still have that sleep I need to get to.

Me: "Sure! I wouldnt mind at all"
I'm sure she's asleep, hopefully that didnt wake her. With a two hour drive going home, I'll get to bed early so that I can spend the afternoon doing whatever "Friend things" she has in mind. I may even be open to a casual date or the like. I dont know yet...

Thank you one and all for spending another week with me! JustseeTV, Obelihnio, BKVissers, Hakan. Thank you all for the support, and we'll see you next time!

@BKVissers I can, but I dont want to have to cut on or modify the truck in any way thats permanent. In case I ever want to show her, or sell her.
Trucker's Log, June 15th, 6:00 A.M.

I managed to spend a little time with Steffani before hitting the bed, she always seems to happy to see me all the time! We went to see the new Ghost in A Shell movie, I had no idea she was an anime fan like I was. Though I've not watched one for a long, long time.
After the movie, it was off to bed for me, and I slept and slept and then I slept some more!

Feeling refreshed, and ready to take on the week, I decided to start it off right. A 46 ton Leopard main battle tank was going from the Rostock docks where it just arrived, to a drop point in Hamburg. From there, it will be taken via a military convoy to an unknown destination with a division of other tanks just like it. It isnt paying much, since it isnt going far. But hey! Money is money, and I'm always happy to make it when I can.
