    Got to bobtail to Jefferson City to get an empty trailer, then back here to pick up after 0100 for a load going to Oconomowoc WI that delivers Thursday 0100--grocery warehouse, ugh! All for 425 miles.

    The part that really annoys me is I have to be back in Indy Saturday for my doctor's appointment Monday morning. Grrrrr...I'm fighting for miles here! The worst part is it isn't anybody's fault; they're all doing their jobs well so I can't bark at any one. No fun right now. Sigh.

    Well, rant over. Back to work!

    Not sure how I'm going to pull this one off just yet. I deliver 0100 live unload in Oconomowoc, naturally it's a grocery warehouse so no overnight parking allowed, and there is nothing anywhere nearby (it appears). Will check it out more closely tomorrow.

    G'nite!

    Been awhile since I've been to that place but, if I remember right, you can show up 2 hrs early, and the Pinecone is like 15 miles away, for when you get kicked out after they finally get you unloaded. Better call to make sure on the , how early you can show up. Believe the Pinecone is Johnson Creek,I94 xt 267. Fantastic place to eat!!!!!
     
    Captain Zoom Thanks this.

    Thousand mile week. Sigh. This better not become a habit.

    Well, one good thing coming out of this load is I can't really leave for a couple hours and Gordon is springing for lunch. Free pizza for me and the Hot Chick! Whee...!

    At Roundy's grocery warehouse. Turns out they'll take us up to 4 hours early so I'm here 2-1/2 hrs early with 5 hrs on my clock. Hoping to get done in time to get on my way to next pickup in Green Bay tomorrow. That's two Costco deliveries, one at 0600 in Bolingbrook and final at 0830 in Peoria. I don't think Costco allows overnight parking, but the good news is I just learned I can sit here overnight after unload! Whee!

    I'm a bit loopy. Way out of my normal sleep cycle.

    I miss my dog.

    OS&D issue knocked a four hour chunk out of my day. This 2-stop trip to Bolingbrook then East Peoria has gone from a milk run to "Hojeez-I-wonder-if-I-can-do-this!"

    How come every time some clerk doesn't do his job right, I end up paying real money for HIS mistake/laziness/basic apathy!?

    People.

    Not a fan.
