Springfield,IL

Did you notice where I am? Springfield, ILLINOIS! Not Springfield,MO! Yay, we made it out of the Freight Black Hole!!

Yesterday afternoon around 1430 we finally got a load. We almost had a load to Canada, and we were actually going to take it since we hadn't been before, but it was still in Laredo,TX and wouldn't be there for another two days. So instead we ended up getting assigned a load that was dropped there at the yard and is delivering to Imlay City,MI. So it is back up to the frozen north for us. It was only 777 miles to deliver so we had plenty of time. We knew that we would get there extremely early if we left yesterday, so we went ahead and stayed at the yard and headed out this morning. We got up and got breakfast, picked up the trailer, went and washed the truck and left a little before 0900. This is going to be nice and easy trip so we are taking our time.

We are currently travelling NB up I-55 in Illinois and I just looked up and realized where we are. About 5 miles back is where my windshield got busted on Saturday. You can bet we are being super careful when trucks come by that have any ice or snow on them!

Anyway, not much else going on today. Hopefully tomorrow we will get a load heading to the east or west coast again so we can get back in a good freight lane.
