Chicago, IL

Well, made my "Top Secret" delivery to Libertyville,IL today. I originally thought it was going to be and escorted load, but it turns out it wasn't. It was one of those that we couldn't stop 250 miles from shipper or consignee so that sucked. I hate having to run that far without stopping to go to the bathroom. Especially when ALL of my driving shift was in Illinois!! Which is a 55 mph state for us semis. Yuck!

Made delivery and already had out next load before we dropped. This new load we are picking up from the Gary,IN OC and then taking to Layton,UT. Apparently people haven't been watching the news and seeing all the SNOW that they are getting. WHY ME?? I truly have had my share of snow for my first winter driving. Trust me on this! haha But this load has to be there on the 9th at 0700 for an "at" appointment. Shouldn't be too hard. It is only 1400 miles so all that could slow us down would be the roads. I'm mainly just worried about going through Montana and then entering Utah on I-80 on the east side is where the mountains are. We shall see.

So that is it for now. Time to wake J up and make him get to work!
