Being off work for a couple of weeks seems like it would be great, right? Most likely it would be if you could be at home or at a vacation spot of your choice. Being in New York in a cheap motel is not so great. We waited and waited for what seemed like an eternity to get out truck back.
We thought about renting a car and driving to Indiana to visit relatives, but we could never get a definite answer from the dealership on when the truck would be repaired. We decided to stay close so we would be able to get back to work as soon as it was ready. It gets really boring in a motel room after a few days.
We definitely got caught up on our rest. I got our bookkeeping all caught up. We watched seasons worth of Kardashians. We watched a lot of movies. Unfortunately, due to the location of this motel, going out for walks isn't really a good idea.
But now, all that is behind us. We are back in the truck, and the dealership did a great job with repairs. Insurance covered all but $100 of the damage which totaled almost $5000. Imagine if a small car had hit that deer! I'm very thankful that only the truck was damaged, and no one was injured.
After getting the truck back and moving our stuff back in, we went back in service. We got a load pretty quickly and were dispatched to pick up in St. Mary's, Pa. We delivered that load in Danville, Il and immediately picked up another load in Mundelein, Il. We are now heading to Kansas City, Mo for delivery.
It's still deer season so I know I'm going to be really nervous every time I see a deer. Those deer seem to lose their mind this time of year!
