Wisconsin

I keep getting behind here because I'm trying to learn some new stuff.

I stopped and got a truck wash and the went straight to my customer. They let me in the gate so I had a safe place to park for the night. I connected the tuner to my laptop and found the station carrying the Falcons game and watched a good game, though it wasn't in HD.

Right as the game was ending the guard called me and told me they would unload me. Great, since it was 2330 and my appointment was for 0900 the next morning.

After being unloaded I slept and then went to the near by Pilot truck stop. I sent my ready message and then went in a got a shower. When I got back to the truck I had a load.

It was glass picking up at the Corning place in Warner Robins GA and delivering in Cincinnati OH to Sam Adams, but I was to drop in the Millis Trenton yard. The last time I picked up there it was a live load and I waited 7 hours but this time it was a drop and hook.

I got to Trenton yesterday and after dropping I was told that I was number 7 on the list. That gave me time to go shopping for groc. Mid afternoon I got assigned a load of beer going to the Beer Capital distributor near Milwaukee WI. Now I'm back to driving all night again but in this case at least it got me through Indy and Chicago in the lightest possible traffic.

I arrived at the customer at around 0200 this morning and slept until they started receiving at 0730. I'm in the door now and I can feel them back there driving the fork in and out so it won't be long.
