Crete, from one red truck to another

Reloaded in OKC without a hitch and headed back east on I44. A real pleasant driving day with the windows down and the outlaw country cranked up. Replenished supplies at WM along the way and stopped in Sullivan, MO. Checked the miles to Columbus and ain't going to be able to make it there tomorrow so plan on stopping in Eaton.

Can't reach customer tomorrow so will either stop in eastern PA or in Columbia, NJ and finish off the trip on Tuesday. Hopefully get another nice multiday run back west after that.

Things continuing to roll along pretty well. Got unloaded in North Kingstown, RI this afternoon and got a load picking up north of Boston heading back to the P&G in Brown's Summit for nearly an open delivery on Thursday which is cool. Made it back to Sturbridge, MA tonight and celebrated grabbing one of the few left spots with some pan fried noodles with seafood. Should be looking good to pick up another quick load out of the P&G plant when I drop this one. Solid start toward another good week.

 

Hey bro, anytime you want to fire up a grill I am game, particularly when deer is involved Looking to hit the woods at the end of the month so perhaps will have some fresh stuff on the way back out. Continued good luck over there at J&R.

Drizzling rain, cloudy up here in the NE. Making my way down to VA for tonight. Still got to deal with Baltimore and DC which as always is a blast especially with the added foolishness of the cars in the rain.

 

Got the P&G load dropped off and picked up down the road in Greensboro, NC heading to Beech Island, SC. Perhaps could have made it down there tonight but would have been stuck as my hours were dwindling so I decided to pull up in Rock Hill and finish her out in the morning.

I will have to give some props to Bills truck stop diner (I85 exit 86, NC). I don't eat out alot but decided to give it a shot as they had fried catfish, hushpuppies and 2 vegetables for 6.95 which I thought was pretty reasonable. All of the food was very tasty and healthy portions (perhaps too healthy and the service was good.

 

Dropped at Beech Island this morning and picked up a load in Greenville at a place I have been to a couple of times. Heading to Little Rock for a Monday morning appt which is cool as I can get there tomorrow and take a 34 visiting my mom and hopefully some friends in the little town I grew up in down the road and perhaps even have a couple of brewskies to celebrate the old birthday on Sunday.

Got the Hannibal, MO unloaded reasonably quickly at the GM plant and got an immediate preplan to pick up at P&G in Edwardsville, IL heading to Dunn, NC. Stopped in Oak Creek, KY tonight and plan on making it to my house tomorrow night and finish up the short jaunt to Dunn on Thursday afternoon. So it looks like I will be home for Halloween so my little one can go out and obtain some candy for me
