Crete, from one red truck to another

#### no man I don't hunt anything just for sport I eat coons, opossums, nutria when I was in Louisiana, deer, turkey, hogs just about any critter that gets in my sights during hunting season. I generally fry the young squirrels and add the older ones to some homemade dumplings.

Pretty warm and muggy day in 'nawlins' this morning. Didn't manage to get my po'boy either which sucked but had a real good chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and turnip greens tonight that somewhat made up for it.

Well so much for someone reading and acting on my QC messages that I sent last week about getting home on a certain day. Not too pissed I suppose as I got another 1000+ mile run up to Bolingbrook, IL and then hopefully another 1000+ going back home. Three back to back long runs have been a nice change of pace.

 

I had thought about Prime when restarting out but that #### 60,000 miles with a trainer didn't set too well with me so I went another route. That amount of time is probably a good thing for alot of really new drivers but for someone with more experience it is overkill in my opinion.

 

Good luck. Secret, those does eat just as well We can keep getting unlimited extra doe tags after we use our initial 5 tags in NC. I killed 18 two years ago. Helped feed all the neighbors. Got pretty #### good at processing everything myself and making sausage and some #### good jerky. Truck driving last year really cut into my hunting time and I only managed to kill 1 so the freezer definitely has some room in it now.

A fairly easy day today. Nearly knocked out 600 miles. Sitting in Effingham tonight with only 3.5 hours or so to get to customer tomorrow. Got me a nice juicy guacamole steak burger at Steak and Shake. I like that restaurant alot, just not many located near the truckstops.

 

Yes they pay for lumpers. In the 2.5 months that I have been here I have not had to do any loading or unloading. I think I have had to pay for lumpers 2 times.

 

Finished up my load in Bolingbrook and then had to take the empty trailer to the Wabash place in Lafayette, IN to trade in for a new one. Got to keep the new trailer all of 30 miles as I picked up a load from the ConAgra facility in Lebanon. Going to a WM in the morning. Right at 80K, I got it axled out but not good enough for where the back axle needs to be for IN and IL so I will just run the back roads if the scale is open in IL. Only got about 4 more days of clothes left so they better start aiming me back toward the house soon
