    I managed to snag an interesting load today... OR to OH. With 2 stops in IL... And 2 more in MI... and one more in Baltimore. Seems like logical routing to me. I was looking for something to keep me busy over the holiday weekend and it looks like I've found it. Not to mention at 3600+ miles it's by far the longest trip Crete has given me yet. No complaints here (at the moment)!

    This one will keep me busy for the next 8 days. The last stop delivers on the 10th.

    I would venture to guess that you picked up a load of Jeld-Wen Windows in Bend, OR ?

    Yup. Not much else in the area that doesn't involve rollstock and short miles so I'm pretty happy. Crete should be happy too since 500 miles into the trip I'm averaging just shy of 10 mpg. The joys of a light load and a stiff tailwind.
