Well, yesterday I got up and made it to PA and picked up the Kimberly Clark load. Freaking PA backroads again. ARGH!! Anyway, got it picked up and headed out. Stopped on I-76 at a service area and J took over driving around 1800 hrs. I didn't sleep for crap last night since we were in the PA mountains. Got up this morning when J hit the Indiana border. I drove us to Indy where we got fuel and a shower then got us in to Sterling,IL where we dropped that load. They didn't have any empty trailers for us so we ate medican food at a place called Willy's. It was really good. Finished up there and they are having us bobtail to Rockford,IL to get an empty trailer and then sending us to Milwaukee,WI. There is no team freight in IL so that is why they are sending us up there. Don't know what we will be picking up but they are telling us to go that direction, so away we go.

Glad to hear that you're feeling better, TNet.

A good dose of Vitamin C straight from the fruit, kiwis, oranges, grapefruits seems to help.

I'm curious about your comment that there's no team freight in IL. Is that just now?

I heard a husband and wife CRST team interviewed on a webcast. They have been team driving for six months. They mentioned that they had a microwave, fridge and soupwarmer in their sleeper - although the interviewer didn't follow up on it. Might want to check it out if you see one of their trucks.

While the lunchbox stove sounds like a good alternative, my heaven is still a microwave.

Safe travels,
