Driving in the Rain
It’s going to be a rainy drive through Oregon and Washington along Interstate Highway 5 today.
Of course, that’s not really surprising; it is, after all, the Pacific Northwest.
Portland Traffic
Also not surprising: Portland traffic is horrible. It’s even worse when it’s raining!
We’re heading to the Tacoma Mall in Tacoma, Washington to get in position for our 3 am delivery appointment.
Of course, we’ve first got to make it through Portland traffic in the rain first!

Inconsiderate Drivers at Truck Stops
We’ll make our 3 am delivery in Tacoma and then head to Federal Way to make the second delivery at 6 am.
Once we’re done, we’ve got to head back to Oregon for our next load, after which we’ll endure more Portland traffic before shutting down for the day.
I may need a nap!
