Food was great last night, but maybe too much of it? Neither one of us slept very good.

First call was to the office to find out why I couldn't use my company fueling card. We got that cleared up right away, just more numbers to remember.

Half hour down the road we stop and fuel at a Loves in Goodwood. A few miles later we stop and have the bus washed in Shrevport at the Blue Beacon. It needed it. It was still hanging with ice this AM so it hadn't warmed up overnight.

For some reason the GPS would not route us to the Hertz the way we wanted to go, so we ignored it. Leaving the Hertz wasn't so easy, major road with just a stop sign for me. Finally got across and to delivery. Only two turns so no notes needed.

Found the guy to check me out/in, he brought out a whole crew. Two issues, no key for the computer area ... didn't know I was supposed to have one. Also the low DEF light came on after I did the final fuel five miles back. They did have me take the plastic off the glass so I put that in the car, didn't see another place to put it outside. They said another driver had dropped already this AM, they took him to the bus station and from there he was going to Dallas to fly back to CA.

I'm clear. We go to the closest Burger King for lunch to go. Nothing good on the board so we are heading home.

A couple hours down the road, six units show up from NC going to CA. Too bad we either hadn't headed that way or had a bus to Atlanta. No big dump of orders from IA yet.

Stopped in Monticello at a Velaro for a rest stop. All back roads until we get to Little Rock.

Past Monticello I noticed a car crossing the highway ahead of me at a high speed so I slowed expecting a stop sign. Nope. Someone had run their stop sign at about 60 mph about two blocks before we got to the intersection. We can't get to the freeway soon enough. No sooner do we get to the freeway and we see where someone lost one of the big round hay bales right in the travel lane ...

We make one more stop at a rest area near London, AR before we get to Fort Smith.

We stop at D's for food. Little mom and pop place. Food was good, we had the buffet. Down side was someone was there with their younger kid who would scream. Think it was a medical issue, didn't seem to be a discipline problem.

Quality Inn for the night.

We have about 600 miles to Forest City, by then it will be dark so we'll do the rest Wednesday morning. Plan is to stop home, check on the house, get the mail. And we are ready to go. We have enough time to do one more trip before my DOT test and party on Saturday. Then we may be able to do another short one before we have to be back to watch some grandchildren.

But first they need to put something good on the board. We are looking for SW California. :)

If they don't put anything going there by Friday we will go somewhere else. Still wind warnings in WY.

We made more in two weeks this month than we did all last month. And that was before we found out about the company discounts on fuel.
