Sept 19, 2014 Day 5 of 15000
As many of you know I am almost a day behind on writting this. It was a short night I got up at 4 am an hour early just to kinda refect on what I have learned at what I feel I need to improve on, lots and lots of stuff but then I think of how far I have come in just a short while. Plus I wanted to relax a little in our break room at Trenton. Got on the road at 530ish I really like the 680 what a nice driving rig! The hill of West VA are some of the best viewsin the USA...we decided I would drive about 5 hours and then sleeper birth me so we can take our load out of NC back to Trenton yet today....we did make out delivery time to a large dist center with an hour to go..once there mad house pay lumppers it took 5 hours from the time we got there to be heading out of there gate...we had to drop our trailer in Eden NC at Miller/Coors ( everyone knows we haul a ton for them so I have no problem naming them) Got there andback in for trailer inspection it was clean as I swept it myself some how lumppers dont...then to drop it in 2 row...by its been a 20 hour day..yes with some nap time but my backing wasnt perfect a few pullups slide the wheels back...off to our shop in Eden...trying to find our trailer in our yard no luck, go in to find BL and yep its a different trailer number we decided at that point lets call it a day...we have a preplan to take this load back to Trenton then were getting a trailer brought to us to deliver in Eau Claire WI by 6 am Monday...Sunday were oked for team driving so my goal is to run the most miles in a week ever as a team for Millis....just have to find that number out...Sleep will feel good tonight!!
