Hauling Bottled Water From Texas to Arkansas — Then Home for the Weekend

Welcome back to the channel! We're LIVE on October 16, 2026 — and it's a Friday, which means there's an extra-good finish line waiting at the end of today: home. We've got a quick water delivery to make this morning, then we're pointing the nose toward the house for the weekend. Bodie's riding shotgun. Let's roll! THE LOAD: We picked up a load of bottled water last night in Hawkins, Texas, over in the east Texas piney woods. Water is one of the heavier things you can haul — it stacks out a trailer and loads you right up to weight — so we've got a good solid load on today. We're delivering it this morning to Conway, Arkansas, just north of Little Rock, with a 10:00 AM delivery. WHERE WE ARE: We spent the night in Atlanta, Texas, up in the northeast corner of the state near Texarkana, and we're starting our morning here for the short run up to Conway. TODAY'S PLAN: We run up to Conway, get the water delivered by 10:00 AM, and then... we head home. After a good stretch out on the road, we'll point it toward Rogers and get home for the weekend. Nothing better than wrapping up a load on a Friday morning with home just a few hours up the road. TODAY'S ROUTE: From Atlanta we head up to Texarkana and get on I-30 east toward the Little Rock area, then cut up to Conway for the delivery. After that, it's I-40 west and I-49 north, climbing up into the Ozarks and home to Northwest Arkansas. And what a time of year to be driving home. Mid-October has the Arkansas Ozarks right about at peak fall color — brilliant reds, oranges, and golds blanketing the hills along I-49. It's one of the most beautiful stretches of the year to be rolling through this part of the country, and getting to do it on the way home makes it even better. BODIE UPDATE: Our beagle pup Bodie ("Whitehead's Bodacious Bodie") is riding along and supervising as always — and he's more than ready for a weekend in his own yard.
