Salt Lake City's Earthquake

Salt Lake City Earthquake

Had a delivery there for 1300, #2 up the road in Corinne at the WallyWorld DC and #3 back down to Layton at Smith's/Kroger at midnight.

Got up in Rock Springs and headed out at 0910. Twenty miles down the road I get a call from the broker....don't have to rush because my delivery to SLC was cancelled for today (yesterday) due to a 5.7 earthquake! What??!!

So WallyWorld became #1 and Kroger #2. While sitting at WW, I get an email from the office. The receivers (7/11 Stores) won't be opening for several days so, being that it's time sensitive cut fruit, it's been donated. I will deliver it in a few hours and then deadhead home, cause I pick up in the morning, 26 miles from my house, and head to WI.

Woke up to a missed call from the broker and a text message to call him before moving. The original receiver is to get their load, but it's been taken out of their system. So made some coffee and waited a bit. Got the call to go to them. Ran the 30 miles and found the lights on the road coming off I-80 & the rest of the way were out.

Started to pull in when a guy came running out. Their power is out and the building inspector can't check them out. So, sitting and waiting
