    Drove about half the miles to Plover Wi. and took a long break. Bumping 50hrs now and it's only been a week.

    Experienced transloading sweet potatoes today. It was a pretty neat machine that drove into the van and scooped and conveyored the potatoes. As we were pulling out, we saw the trailer tipper with a trailer way up in the air.

    Headed to breakfast as soon as we are done with the washout. Prime has an account here, so it was easy in and easy out....

    It's a lot more fun to drop your trailer on a lift and watch them raise it into the air and dump the potatoes out the back.

    NE company guys dispatched out of Pittston know what I'm talking about. They'll be starting the east coast potato runs here in a few months.

    The McCain plant had two trailer tippers, but they were busy as all get out, so we got transloaded. Yesterday, we went to Gaylord Minnesota to pick up at Michael Foods. I got us lost on the local roads going across, but a few country roads got us back on track. Michael foods had a nice truckers lounge and let us stay on site for the night. Watched a little IRT deadliest roads before turning in for the night. Past 50hrs yesterday, and looks like I should have 75 done with this run to Georgia. Feelin good about the driving, and pretty confident about the backing, but gotta get the cones out.

    Get the cones out? Oh, leave 'em in. In fact, get enough of them implanted in strategic places and you'll be responsible for starting a truck enhancement phenomenon!

    Well, the 75 hours are driven, and headed back to springmo!!! Early... Some practice this weekend and testing Monday. It's been an interesting time, and I am comfortable driving 9 hours daily. Next up, TNT training.
