Countdown to home time

Saturday was a relaxing day. We were 6th on the board to get a load out and figured we'd be there until Monday, because nobody moved all day. We hit TGIFriday's for dinner and cold beverages and went to sleep early. We got a call around 11:30 that they needed a truck to move right away to pick up a load. We accepted and hit the road, going about 56 miles south east of Detroit. When we got there, just before 0100, the shipper told us they were supposed to send a truck about 7 pm and must have forgotten and his shift was over at 0100. GEEEEZZZ.

We headed toward Chicago with plenty of time to make delivery. It had to be there for the 11 pm shift start Sunday night. We hit a truckstop before we got out of Indiana (cheaper fuel) to get some sleep and a shower in the morning. We napped all afternoon and left about 9 pm to get to our destination. On the way we got another load offer for Monday morning. It was a mini...only 15 miles but it paid well and picked up about 4 miles from where we were delivering Sunday night. After we unloaded, we headed on over to the next one to either load early or sleep in their lot. The load was ready so we headed 15 miles southwest and arrived at our destination 6 hours before we were even supposed to pick up the load!! We ARE good. LOL

Kathy - we gotta tell you we feel sorry for you, living in Chicago. Your roads SUCK. LOL I don't know when the truck bounced so much except for the stretch of highway out of Elizabethtown, KY!!!

We bumped the dock and went to bed, sleeping well in the industrial park. They were happy to see us there already when they came to work this morning; apparently they needed those barrels of fuel.

Off we went to Walmart (I sure get to see a lot of them) with Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast. About 1030 we got a load offer going to Danville IL. We left right away and are sitting here waiting for them to load us. In the meantime we've already got one on the back burner for tomorrow and the day after that we start heading home.
