Millis OTR journal

Yeah I'm really surprised that you don't remember it. But he had a lot of mannerisms that were pretty characteristic that stuck with me. I was the only guy in my class so maybe that's why things stuck with me.

But some things I remember is in particular when he would talk about sending the paperwork to Columbus, the people up there would be "happy, happy, happy!" Oh and people "losing their f**king minds" about things. And him saying something, then a pause, then him repeating it.

Sometimes I'd say the "which is a good thing" for him.

 

39/90 in Wisconsin on the weekend during this time of yr should just be forbidden for us to be on....planned on making it to Loves in Le Roy IL....student was out of hours by time hit Roscoe Loves....over 2 hrs lost with stop and go traffic starting in Wisc Dells and ending at the IL state line...ugh

 

39 is a ####ing disaster last couple months it seems unless you hit it in the middle of the night, doesn't matter what day it seems. Same with 94 up thru to Oak Creek.

 

Yup traffic moved thru that construction area fantastic while they still allowing everybidy to run 70, but as soon as that 55mph mile stretch got implented it went straight to hell...add that in with the volume of traffic this time of yr its god awful...hell we grabbed a load from Effingham yday going to Menomonee and I decided we'd just trun 57n to 74w to 80w to hwy61 instead if going straight up 39....added 35miles to the trip but after todays fiasco Im sure we made better time.

 

Whenever u make it to LeRoy go to Woodys on the Southwest side of the interstate great burgers and soup. Has the old fashion theme going on. Good service too. I only live about 30 minutes from there and stop in whenever I haul through there.
There’s a good pizza joint called Romma’s just up the road from the loves, if u like thin crust pizza, they would probably deliver to the Loves or Woodys.

 

Ill have to stop over there sometime. I stay in Le Roy often it seems but I've always parked at the Loves because of that Jacks cafe. Pretty good food there as well If you only live 30mins from there you aren't to far from where I live. I live near Galesburg

 

I live about an hour 30 from Galesburg.
