Lunch break in Gary, IN

I am taking a long lunch so I will catch you up to date!  After that FOUR hour shag on the 28th, we picked up a load  in Elwood, took it to St. Louis, picked up a load there and took it to Kohler, WI; picked up a load in Green Bay, WI and took it to Sterling, IL yesterday.  We now have a load that we are taking to Winchester, VA that is not due until Monday morning and is only 10.5 hours away!  I couldn't reach anyone at the office so I assume that an early delivery is out of the question. So.........let's take good breaks today, park early and repeat for tomorrow!

And thank you to the shop that fixed my trailer in Green Bay!  I picked up a trailer at a cheese factory (they did not sell to the public.....augh) and while cleaning it out, I found a nice puddle of water at the nose.  Either the client or the previous driver decided to hit a low bridge and not report it. We arrived at the shop at 7 AM, I took a shower and was surprised to see a huge lunch that was being served 9:00 AM!  I took one plate of sausage, ham and pull pork to the truck and dropped them in the cooler and proceeded back for seconds for crab salad, potato salad and tuna salad.......and dropped them in the cooler.  I scored 3 meals!

Best news, we were out of the shop by 9:30!  The company actually paid quickly on this one and a good thing, couple more return trips to the kitchen and I would have over filled my cooler :)

No news on the new employment home front.  One company will certainly consider me in April and I will be chatting with a refer company soon....so I will continue to pay my dues until someone decides to pay me!

Pictures!

Tom from the shop.....told him I would take down his picture if he could find my blog!

I think this truck is hot!
