    Hixton wis for the night and up to minong in the morning after a pick up at that cull cow plant in norwalk wis this afternoon, nothings changed there since I was last there with my step father in the late 70s with a slaughter cow load from the south st paul stockyards.
    Will be home at the underwood plant sunday from minong on the 6th day as usual with 3000 miles for the week .
    They certainly do have this dialed in !

    Not much new to report , out 6 home 3 and come home with 3000 ish miles every week , plant to plant to plant .
    Do your job and the bonuses pay out the 15th of every month .
    3 months into this now and finally feel like I've gotten this dialed in .
    New trucks are arriving so I will be getting a new one soon ...maybe this week .
    That's about it .

    . I fully understand the queasy feeling when things seem to go too smooth it’s from years of training from 2nd rate companys.

    Yeah it's really just been the adjustment of a different communication system and getting things entered correctly and that every plant operates a little differently from the other ...plus I started as links was shifting things around between some plants but that is settling down now .
    I start some weeks wondering how I'll fill out 3000 miles in 6 days but they always do it !
    And bonus ...they leave me alone when I'm home .
