Miles Today: 402

G'd evening, trucking fans. I'm going to spare you my rambling tonight and just give you a short update because I need to get to sleep, then get up early and on my way.

I returned to my truck this morning (thanks to reader nancyr for the lift) at about 6:45, then had my load assignment at about 7:15. My mission: Pick up a load in Coldwater, MI at 10:00 a.m., then haul it to western South Carolina for delivery on Friday at 1:00 a.m. OK, I can do that. But a delivery scheduled for that time of day (night!) is kinda' strange. Hence my need to get up early; to start shifting my personal schedule to an overnight one for the next couple of days.

In case you're wondering, I'm at the Kentucky Welcome Center/Rest Area on southbound I-75, just a bit south of Cincinnati, for the night. Not quite as far as I wanted to get today, but I do need to work on shiftng my schedule, plus I ran into a bit of a traffic jam going through Cincy, which slowed me up.

That's enough for tonight. Thanks for following my adventures over these airwaves, and keep on truckin' and commentin'.
