DATELINE: ROMULUS, MI, 4:00 p.m.
Here I am, back in my truck again after less than 48 hours at home. :-( But it's a job and I need the money. Anyway, I sent in the requisite message that I am back and soon after got my next assignment. I have a pickup at 8:00 tonight about 1 whole mile from here ("here" being the yard where I can park my truck during home time). Hence the time available for me to compose this update. The load I'm picking up tonight is destined for mid-Mississippi, and I'll have 3 full days (73:45 to be exact) to get it there. I plan on driving to our Vandalia (Dayton), OH terminal tonight. Then I'm gonna have lots of extra time to get to the delivery, so I'll be able to take shorter drives each day and not burn through my 70 hours right off the bat. (Then again, since I get paid by the mile, this will lower my next weekly paycheck by a bit.)
Anyway, I just wanted to take a few minutes to fill you in on my return to work. I haven't had any fallout from my little incident last weekend, so I'm not going to dwell on that at this point. If that's something that takes a while to work its way up and down through the chain of command, and something happens later, I'll certainly let y'all know about it. But for now, the status is quo.
Thanks again for reading and commenting. Keep those coming, and keep on truckin'.

Mississippi - at least it should be warmer than Michigan. See if you can grab a little Spanish moss while you're there, okay? It would be nice draped on our birch trees. Drive safely, see you soon but not nearly soon enough.
