The second truck is expected to arrive after 1300 to pick up the remaining non-hazmat load.

2. For non-NOAA personnel expecting trucks to B703 for shipping next week, please let ESPO know about your plans as soon as possible. So, ESPO can communicate this to AFRC to ensure adequate support is available.
