Eastward Across the South

DATELINE: MADISON, GA, 9:45 p.m. EST

Miles Today: 461

Not much to tell you about today. I'm just continuing my march to Columbia, SC and tomorrow morning's delivery.

I got up and hit the road by 6:30 this morning. The West Memphis terminal's fuel pumps were up & running, so I was able to put some diesel into my truck's tanks before getting underway. Other than a couple of rest stops en route and a stop in Birmingham, AL for lunch, I just kept my wheels turnin'. I stopped here at a TA, a bit earlier than I could have, because:
a. The drive was just droning on and I was getting tired of it for today,
b. By the time I got to the pack of truck stops in the area near where my available hours would run out, it'd be getting to the time when the truck stops would be filling up and parking could be hard to come by,
c. It's a TA and I can use one of my earned shower credits to get clean in the morning before getting started, and
d. With my delivery not 'til 9:00 in the morning, I can get up early (or around my usual wake-up time) and finish the drive then.

And that's about all there was to my work today. I'll have more exciting news to blog about tomorrow when I have a new destination after delivering my current load, so be sure to check back for that. Thanks for dropping by, and keep on truckin'.
