WHAT A DAY

For Fidencios benefit, I gave probably the best EVAL ever . He's really progressing well...Heres a foto of him behind the wheel.

Boy whata day...We left Green Bay on Tuesday to pick up a load at Wisconsin Rapids, going to Warsau Indiana. Wednesday at 4PM.Plenty of time right??? If things can go wrong they will. We went to load by 5PM, only to be told we couldn't load till &AM Wednesday. No way could we do the miles by 4PM...We headed out at about 730 AM and finally delivered at 9PM. 5 hours late.

Since we left GARY, They closed 80/94 for flooding, 30 in Valporaiso, and numerous other roads due to flooding. I believe we drove parts of every truck route between Chicago's south Suburbs, and Warsau, IN.

This morning we were assigned a load from ELKHART, IN to LAREDO, TX. (1500 miles) Gr8, right??? Well a couple hours later, we were reassigned a load from Grand Rapids, MI to INDIANOLA, MS. We're now sitting at GARY for 10 DOT hours, till tomorrow to contiue to WEST MEMPHIS and all points SOUTH.

While unloading at WARSAU, we saw a new type chocking system for the rear tandems. See foto attached.
