Crete, from one red truck to another

Got unloaded in about 15 minutes, got to love those big paper rolls for unloading times. Picking up just down the road in Appleton but the load won't be ready until around 2200 which is fine as I only had one hour left. Going to Cherokee, IA. Perhaps will be able to make it tomorrow but it would be tight. Doesn't deliver until the morning of Thursday so plenty of time and I will start to get back some bigger hours then.

 

Well decided to go for the old reset after weighing the pros and cons. The major con is I won't be leaving here until 1930 and driving in the wee hours to get to customer and potentially putting me back on the graveyard cycle again but hopefully the extra hours gained for the next 7 days will outweigh that. Just wish I had brought a couple of books with to pass the time as this FMCSA book is getting pretty boring

 

Well just witnessed a huge accident near Atalissa, IA. Some big rigs and a motorcycle at least. Bodies on the road and in the ditch. Ambulances and the police were just getting there about the time I was reaching scene so I continued on as there seemed to be sufficient folks to take care of things. Stopped at Walcott although I had about 4 more hours I could drive. I wanted to get through the I-80 mess under cover of darkness but just didn't have enough left in the tank for another 3 hours. Got a good load of cat food heading toward Allentown. Probably a d/h that isn't due until Sunday but going to try and get it off early Saturday.
