I've been neglecting my blog the last couple of days. It's been run, run, run and at the end of each day it's just crawl in the sack to do it again tomorrow.

Anyway having realized my neglect I thought I would catch up.

01/11/2010

Unloaded and got a deadhead order to Laurinburg, NC. Got to Kanona, NY to fuel up and my buddy called and said to wait for him he was on his way there. Once he caught up we put a few more miles on.

Ate breakfast at that Petro (or what used to be) in Milton, PA >>>>YUCK!!!!!!

Ran the rest of the way to Laurinburg. Went out to eat some Chinese and just crawled into the bunk for the night.

01/13/2010

Got up at 1am cinched down the load and ran up to Kanona, NY to stage for a Concord, ON delivery at 7am. Got up to Kanona and just ate out of the truck and called it a night.

1/10/2010

Today was an affirmation of my career choice.

I got to drive, make money, and listen to a good book all at the same time. It doesn't get much better than that.

The I-80/94 corridor below Chicagoland, IL and Gary, IN might as well have been a country lane for all the traffic it contained.

I was the sole truck approaching the border crossing. A quick two questions and I was on my way.

The sky was partly cloudy in some places, overcast in others and clear in some. The only potential danger today was the temperature and to make that dangerous you have to work very hard. Much harder than I'm willing to work.

Like I said:

It doesn't get much better than that.

Top it all off with my favorite buffet (one of these days I'll order of the menu) at the TA in Woodstock, ON, a bottomless cup of coffee and good service. You have a recipe for a happy trucker.

Tomorrow I'll unload in Mississauga, ON, the GPS calls it Hanlan, ON for some reason. I have a DGL trailer and we don't back haul out of Canada on these trailers. So my options (or their options I should say) consist of Geneva, NY, Mt Holly Springs, PA, Ottawa, IL, Laurinburg, NC or least likely Carleton, MI. We will just have to wait for the deadhead order to see.

Hope your day was as good as mine
