What a day today.
Called dispatch at about 1230 hours, let them know I'm all emptied out and ready for next assignment. They told me to sit tight they may have something.
One of those Friday last minute Brokerage deals I said, ho-hum been there done that. They keyed me up about 20 min later giving me the address to my next p/u and drop off. That"s when I noticed and said hey this is right by the Airport. That' where the fun began...........
OK so I'm pulling up to the stop, first thing we think of, ok where's the building with the docks ...............
But Nooo! That guy on the forklift escorted me through the gate and said follow me. I had noticed that plane pullup there shortly after I arrived.
Upon seeing the pilot and his handlers step out as we were getting closer I realized I'm about to unload right out here next to this plane . Ahh snap!
Here we were, two mega cargo carrying entities right next to each other.........
Actually I was kinda nervous taking these shots with all the security clearance. You can see I had to duck behind the trailer for this one.
I thought for sure someone would come up to me and say "Were you taking pictures Sir", uhm yes "Come with Us"
So I strutted back to my cab and waited for them to load me when I noticed these two young high school looking boys in safety vest walking toward the back of my trailer. They must be my loaders cause my freight was in the nose (24 double stacked crates.) and the forklift driver had already put the pallet jack in the trailer.
But after several minutes went by and no freight was unloaded I wondered do these boys know what their doing. As I was walking toward the back one of the boys met me and said because of liability reasons we cant touch this freight you have to unload it...........
Yes sir that Plane is headed to Mexico, Air Anos
I snapped this as I was pulling the crates to the arse
. Notice I took this when no one was looking.
page one, turn with me to page two.........
