Good evening from Monee, IL! I am getting so much closer to my new truck considering I only traveled 75 miles today! I arrived at the drop at 7 AM and sat there until 10 AM! Then I was given a pickup that was already an hour overdue, arrived at 12:30 because of that dang road construction and closed exit ramps. I had to do one U turn and thought I might have to do another when my GPS told me I did not have enough clearance. I pulled to the side, another driver without a load stopped, looked over my height, went under and parked and watched me drive under. I cleared it by 6 inches but that was too dang scary with a turn around that would have been hell!
I arrived at my next pick up to find out that I was supposed to be there at 7 AM…….hmmmmmm, and they put me on a waiting list. On a good note, they let me drop my trailer so I could hit the truck stop a mile away for a shower, it pays to be nice! But nice does not always mean fast as I left there at 5:30 this evening! I have 1.75 hrs left on my clock, I still had to scale and there was no way I could drive anywhere around Chicago and find a place to park so I parked a mile from my pickup, where I took my shower ;)
This load was due at 4 AM LOL! I might make it by 11 AM, the cutoff time. I have been instructed to bobtail to the terminal in Springfield to trade in the Seattle Rust Bucket for a ……………. We will find out tomorrow!
Still having payroll issues and now mileage pay…………..it will be fixed soon, I hope. See you all at 4 AM!
The spring wildflowers here are beautiful!
