New Years Day.....

I can't believe that I am spending a New Years day and haven't even watched one football game!  I can't remember the last time that has happened.  I woke up around three o'clock this afternoon.  Last night and this morning I delivered to three stores in Galesburg, Kewanee and Silvis, Ill.  The last stop in Silvis, Il is in the Quad Cities area on the border between Illinois and Iowa.  I finished up around three thirty in the morning.  I then had a four plus hour drive back to Moberly.  There were wind advisories and it was not much fun trying to keep an empty trailer on the road.  I got back to Moberly around seven forty five this morning.  It was a good run with good miles (518)

I received my load assignment this afternoon. This load has about half the miles, but one more stop.  I will be visiting Walmart stores in Troy, Wentzville, Warrenton and Mexico, Mo.  It should be ready to around nine thirty this evening.  I should be done some time around six this morning.  I have been getting some good sleep so far this week.  I keep hearing that the amount of freight going to the Walmart stores will be slowing down now that the holidays have passed.  We will see how it goes and how long I can continue to work form here.  If it slows down dramatically, I will probably have to go back to driving over the road.  We will see.  Have a good night......
