    Got empty this morning in Cleveland. Now getting this trailer washed out at Lodi. Dropping it in Groveport later then waiting until 4am when my 3 stop load to Georgia and Florida is ready. Will be home Friday about noon to start my 2.5 weeks of medical leave.

    Got pulled over by the Indiana State Police today while going through Terre Haute on I-70. GPS said it was a 65 zone, but the cop said it was 60. I fully expect to be watching that video in Safety about the perils of going 7 MPH over the speed limit real soon now.

    Dude was afffable. We talked about football. He's a big Notre Dame fan. He just gave me a warning and a level 3 inspection, which I passed with flying colors. Nice, considering the trailer has no license plate.

    They'll email it to you. You can watch it driving down the road.

    Yeah, GPS always gets that wrong in that area. There are signs that say 65 for cars and 60 for trucks. Everybody tends to ignore them though.
     
    Silverdriver Thanks this.

    In all my years out here, I have never seen a place that recycles DM’s like this place. It’s utterly amazing. I’m wondering if they’ll soon run out of available bodies to plop in a seat back in Richmond and the other haunts.
