3:30 am. That’s all I have to say about that.
Drove all the way across Ohio and almost all of Pennsylvania. Such beautiful country. The mountains are all green and full. Just gorgeous. We got to our drop off just a bit late because Greg is required to take a 30 minute break within 8 hours so that threw us behind. Thankfully it was a drop and hook which didn’t take long and we are off again, this time to Hershey, Pennsylvania to pick up a load for illinois.
I hadnt had a chance to download pictures from my camera for a few days so below are a collection of the last few days. The first ones are of Kansas and the flooding that happened through there with Tropical Storm Bill. Also, some pictures of the wheat fields and some cows. The others are from this morning of Eastern Ohio, Wheeling WV, and Pennsylvania.
- Eastern Ohio
- Ohio River. Wheeling WV on the left side of picture.
- Daylillies everywhere. Big clusters of them.
- Western Pennsylvania
- We went to Hershey and picked up 41,000 pounds of Reese’s Pieces. WOW
- How big the corn has gotten in just a short time.
DG: Yea, I never got up that early to go fishing. But this is trucking and the time of day don’t mean nothing. Just the time when your load is due and the time on your drive clock. You learn to sleep when you can and stay awake when you absolutely have to. And you’re always calculating how much time to get to the next fuel stop, when and where are you going to take your break, when are you going to stop for the day and what time are you going to start tomorrow to get you to the next stop with enough time to make the delivery and head to the next pick up. The wheels gotta be moving in this business if there is any money to be made.
All that calculating has made me sleepy. Good night all. And God bless.
