Wednesday, October 8th, we delivered our trucks to Cascadia International in Tacoma, Washington. The dealership shop lot was crammed and jammed full when we arrived. There was a lot of maneuvering being done to get to the "undecking" area before we could begin the unhooking process.
Once finished we drove about 15 miles to Interstate Distributors where six of the ten trucks were. The Port of Everett, Washington was about 68 miles away so we decided to take three of the trucks and come back for the other three the next day.
We got to the Everett Port at 2:30 pm local time and got unhooked and signed out by 4 pm. This is a quiet port. There was no long line, like Baltimore, and we had plenty of space to work in.
We spent the night at Days Inn of Tacoma then went back to Interstate Distributors for the last set of three trucks. We got to the Everett Port at 12:30 local time and had to wait - lunch from 1130 am to 1 pm. While waiting we took everything off that was not necessary to drive around the port: Fairing boards and straps, brake fitting attachment, the straps on the rear wheels of the pickup. We left the lightbar on for signals and braking. Once lunch was over we got in and out, making our delivery and getting on the road to Troutdale, Oregon and the Travelodge. The Travelodge incates they have truck parking - across the street at Walmart.
Friday, October 10th, we got our trucks from Interstate Distributors and went back up north on I-5 to the Everett Port. We delivered at 3 pm. All 10 trucks are now delivered.
Friday night we stayed at King Oscar Motel in Tacoma, Washington. Today we are heading for Sacramento where we have been told to be for Monday morning. We don't know what work is next. It will either be 10 trucks in Sacramento, California going to Salt Lake City, Utah or 12 trucks in Fontana, California going to Las Vegas, Nevada.
