Good evening from Burke, WI

We drove 500 miles today hauling a bulk load (on the floor) of sweet spuds that is due 100 miles away in WI at 9 AM tomorrow.  Since this load is sitting on the floor (it had to be dumped in and shoveled back by hand), I was told that they are going to tip my trailer in the air and let them all roll out!  I have seen this done at the paper mills but the tractor was attached so we will experience something new tomorrow none the less!

We have missed storm after rain storm on our way north so Gonja hasn't gotten that well needed bath but we have had some wonderful walks and stress free driving as the load is not running behind but way ahead.......I like that!

I did talk to recruiter about leaving my dispatcher but we both agreed to give it a couple of weeks.  First and foremost, my dispatcher knows he can't push me around when my safety is concerned.  Secondly, let's give it a few weeks to see if he respects me or wants to push me..........I am hoping for the first one.

Pictures!

These trees were trimmed to grow around the power lines!


From what I have been told......this is a bad fuel injector, get it fixed dude!

Trees in swamps grow mini stumps!

Lovely walk in the forest..........
