    Well my first full day out on the road. I did about 300 miles heading towards NJ. We stopped at a TA off I95 for the night. We are supposed to deliver at 0900 so it will be an early morning.

    Well we got a good load today, picked up near trenton nj, going to omaha. Should have plenty of driving time in the next few days, and we may stop in at the main terminal if we are close enough and have time. Stopped at a TA for a shower and food and now I'm ready for some sleep

    Well we made it to Omaha, and getting unloaded right now. I did about half of the driving and trip planning on this one. Still have the mirrors attached and all our paint so it went pretty well. Can't wait to see where we head to next.

    well you know what they say....any landing you can walk away from is a good one....lol.....guess that translates well into still having the mirrors on and all your paint haha

    Well today I get to see MO,[sarcasm] wooooo [/sarcasm] . At the end of the week we gotta be in Lincoln for service on the truck and stuff. So I will have a short break. It will be kinda cool to see the main terminal.

    Glad that you decided on Crete. They seem to have a lot of happy drivers.
