Hey gang… I’m updating from home for a change!  After three and a half weeks on the road I got here for TAH on Friday afternoon.  On Saturday we hosted a wedding shower for our youngest son and his fiance, giving us a chance to visit with friends and family.  On top of that our sons and their ladies spent the weekend with us, which is a treat we particularly enjoy…

  • Date(s): 4/10 to 4/11
  • From/To: Midway, TN to Indianapolis, IN
  • Mileage: 377
  • Cargo:  Pallets

Had to wait an hour or so to get three trailers moved that were blocking my load, but otherwise a decent trip up to the Indy OC.

  • Date(s): 4/12
  • From/To: Indianapolis, IN to Gas City, IN
  • Mileage: 84
  • Cargo:  Store Merchandise

Picked up this relay and took it just up the road to Gas City for a live unload.  I’m getting used to the fact that a few days before TAH the loads get a little ‘quirky’ as they start routing me home.

  • Date(s): Gas City, IN to Statesville, NC
  • From/To: 4/12 to 4/13
  • Mileage: 573
  • Cargo:  Cardboard cartons

The pickup was a live load about three blocks from my last unload, followed by an easy drive to Statesville for a live unload.  Afterwards I drove the 40 miles to the Charlotte OC to drop the empty and start a much anticipated three days at home.
