Good afternoon......
I am sitting here waiting to receive my load assignment for today. Monday and Tuesday were spent driving up to Milwaukee and back. I delivered to stores in West Burlington and Muscatine, IA. Then on over to Illinois. I delivered to Silvis and Galesburg, IL. When I had emptied my trailer, I drove it to a Cargil plant in downtown Milwaukee, WI. I got to Milwaukee right in the middle of morning rush hour traffic. You haven't lived until you driven a big truck in rush hour traffic. You want to leave enough room between you and the vehicle in front of you....just in case they slam on their brakes. Just as soon as you get enough room, someone will cut in front of you......I know I have been guilty of doing the same thing in my car....had I known how mad I was making that truck driver when I did it......I think I would have stopped doing that a long time ago......OK i will get off my soapbox.... I arrived at the Cargil plant with an hour and one half left to drive. I was a little disappointed that the load wasn't ready, so I had to take my 10 hour break at the plant. There is a Casino within walking distance. I hear there is a good restaurant there. I passed on that and cooked in my truck instead. I slept and watched some TV. I completed my ten hour break, hooked to my new trailer and was back on the road by 7:30 pm. I got back to Moberly around 2:30 this morning. I tried to update my blog, but was too tired .....so I ate some dinner and went to bed.
So now I have to sit here and wait to hear where I will be heading this evening. I don't know that I will get a load for sure........I expect to get one...but we will see.....Have a great day today......Tom
