Driver Greg here.  All alone.  No navigator.  No sweetie.  I know, it’s sad.  I’m sad. But on we go. Freights gotta move.  Got parked early last night but DOT inspection was about to expire so thought I would get that done. Well they found a leaking brake canister so had to get that repaired in order to pass the inspection.  All thoughts of an early night went out the window, so after getting a shower and eating dinner which was interrupted with a call from the garage, finally got in the bed with alarm set for 3:00 am in hopes of getting at least six hours of sleep. No deal. Driver manager called at 2:45 wondering if I was ready to roll. Sure. Why not. So off I go. 

The shipper name didn’t ring a bell but as I got closer to my pick up I realized I had been here before. The “Hogwash” truck washing place across the street gave it away. 

Drop and hook, which is good but still taking an hour and I haven’t yet checked out. Then will have to weigh and hope the load is right. 

Load was right. 44000 pounds of ribs. I’m tempted to have a bbq.  Any takers?

Well, after much deliberation dispatch directed me to a Flying J just outside of Indianapolis where I swapped trailers with another driver.  I hope this is the last leg toward Kansas. 

Talking to the other driver it appears that Trans Am has had its share of troubles. There’s just something about this company I can’t put my finger on but know that i will be glad to move on. 

A couple of pictures. If you look back at some of our early pictures of the Mississippi you will see a big difference. 

It is up. 

I thought this was interesting.  It’s a movie theater surrounded by corn fields in the middle of nowhere.  

  
Weird huh?

And the biggest caterpillars I have ever seen. Don’t want to be around when they turn into butterflies.

  
Well, that’s all folks. Hope all are well. I miss you terrible my love. Can’t wait to get home. 

Good night and God bless.

Annie – Boy it really sounds like I need to get back in the truck!   

It’s been a pretty slow day around here.  I have been working on taxes again and will tomorrow too it looks like.  

Finally got to the grocery store for a few things though so that’s good.  I didn’t get the Loreal for my hair yet though.  Not sure what Sadie is going to say.   She doesn’t like it when my hair is gray.  Lol  

Well, turning in.  Missing my sweetie something awful!   Hope you are here soon!   

Goodnight, y’all!
