    From what I heard, they were moving tons of trailers to the P&G in Green Bay. So they must have a bunch of freight coming out of there soon.

    Well, in Tomah, WI now. Dropped a loaded trailer at Walmart DC here and came over to the Kwik Trip TS down the road....free Wi-Fi FTW!

    Hit the road this afternoon at about 1pm headed to Green Bay yet again. Literally, the load was at the P&G that I dropped the empty at before bobtailing to Gary. Picked up and brought it to Marshfield. Its headed to Utah which if I wasn't due home I would have liked to take. I really want to get out west, never been out there. I'm definitely gonna let that be known tho, not to mention, I want to get used to the rockies before winter comes.

    So at this point, I dunno whats in store next for me. I imagine they will inch me closer to home tomorrow, but like I said, dunno.

    Well back home for the evening. They got me into MN by about 3pm, and decided to make me work tomorrow as well. I'm picking up a load in Minneapolis at 7am and taking it to my hometown in Lakeville, MN. Total of about 50 miles. Hopefully they just leave my day at that instead of making me do more.

    Alright, well after a lengthy hometime, I'm back on the road, picked up in St Cloud, MN and delivering in Valdosta, GA on Wed. #### good run. Sitting at the Pilot in Beloit, WI at the moment....kinda planning on leaving late tomorrow to try and avoid the rush hour through Chicago since they have me filling up at Gary.....we'll see how that works out tho.

    What makes you say that?

    Well, I'm in Lebanon, TN for the night. Gotta fuel up here in the morning then make it to the consignee by 7:30 pm. Only 8.5 hours away so shouldn't be hard to do.

    The truck stop I'm at tho, holy crap. Pilot off 231, it is seriously packed....and people are still trying to cram in. First night where I haven't been able to find a actual parking spot in a truck stop.

    Well, after getting rid of the load in Valdosta, they gave me a load from Albany, GA to 2 Sams Clubs. Problem being that the Sams Clubs wouldn't unload til 10pm at one, and 12am at the other. Got to the first one no problem and they took their sweet ole time so I didn't get to the second one until about 3am. Then, they took forever to unload me as well, 14 fricken pallets....seriously?

    So here I sit, in Hilton Head Island, SC in a Sam's Club parking lot because my 14 ran out. Can't complain too much besides that the idea of getting a tractor trailer in here is mind boggling. Not to mention the idea of parking in this parking lot, its so cramped I had to make a 5 point turn just to get positioned where I needed to be so I was out of the way and so I can leave in the afternoon.

    Who knows tho, my next load doesn't have to be delivered until Monday morning, and is only 800 miles away, so I may take a walk this afternoon. It is a serious vacation hot spot. I wasn't even on the island yet and I was amazed by the money dumped into the area.

    was there about 20 years ago. Golfed at the course, Fuzzy Zeoller's course, on the right as you come in. everything on the island was expensive, except for the line of latino day workers roaming around for work.... lol I can think of worse places to be stuck... Marshfield? Waiting for my truck to get warranty work done... oh well have fun!
