DATELINE: VANDALIA, OH, 9:35 a.m.
Miles Yesterday: 197
Good morning, readers. I have just few minutes to dash off this quickie update before I have to hit the road at 10:00. Everything went fine yesterday. My pickup was a drop-and-hook (park and unhook my empty trailer, zip over and hook up to a loaded one at the dock), which went smoothly. The drive down here to Vandalia also passed without anything newsworthy occurring. So now I'm getting ready to hit the road to our West Memphis, AR terminal. That will be a full 11-hour drive, and it looks like it'll be through light snow for at least the first few hours. So hopefully that won't slow me down any.
Remember yesterday's post when I told how I'd have a liesurely time getting to the delivery point for this load? Well, I forgot an alternative: dispatch will have me drive it like mad to West Memphis and have me switch it out for another load so this one can sit for a day before another driver can get it to its destination. In the meantime, I'll keep rolling up the miles on another load, being used more efficiently. Good idea, no?
Anyway, like I said, just a quick update for now. If I'm not exhausted after today's drive, I'll dash off another post when I get to West Memphis. Have a good day, thanks for your readership, and keep on commentin' and truckin'.

So where you heading now? No Mississippi this time? Have a safe ride as the miles roll away under your tires. Wherever you're heading.
