    It is 11:34 pm.

    There has been a colossal eff up at this shipper. I have been here since 930am, waiting to pick up a load of palm oil.

    Another driver from my company had to drop a trailer full of corn oil to be unloaded. So I'm under it now, waiting for it to be unloaded.

    They haven't even started yet.

    I slept earlier, but I'm seriously thinking of hitting the rack once again.

    I AM getting paid, though. So there IS that......

    More rain in California and Nevada the next two days. We never get rain in May unless it’s a thunderstorm

    I just came through Vegas. Raining pretty good as I can down the hill towards Nellis. Looks like Fontana will get rain this morning when I finally get there.

    Finally got outta there @ 0500.

    Made it to Ina, IL Loves, I-57x83.

    "Uncle Joe's BBQ" across the street.
    They also have truck parking.
    The bbq gets the homeskillet BBQ Seal of Approval. Beautifully smoked meat, assortment of five different sauces to help yourself to. All sauces made in-house.

    This just helped remind me, there's more to Illinois than Chicagoland.

    Gonna hit the rack, finish the trip tonight. I'm kinda fighting my eyes, anyway.

    Well the snow of Montanna from the weekend is our rain tomorrow. Clearing on Wednesday.
    Went to see Avengers Endgame. It was good. Laughed at all the people whom said three hours was to long to sit. Told them "Dont learn to drive a truck"
