Off for a few days for a number of reasons. The board out of IA has stayed between 140 and 240 for the last three weeks. No shortage of work. We were packed and ready to leave last night and then didn't. If we had, we would have been able to make it to CA and back before my dentist appt. Now we have an appt earlier in next week so we will be back by Sunday.


Didn't call in for work until after 9 AM. Had other calls that we had to make first. We grabbed two for Tucson. Cars are still cheap out of AZ.


Stopped on the way down in Albert Lea for lunch. I needed glasses again, they seem to last between two weeks and two months. While we were at Walmart getting glasses, we got Subway to go. That was my half hour noon break.


Got to Forest City, only one person in the office so it took a little while longer. Then before we were done inspecting, BB found a nick in her paint that was going to have to be re-done. So we gave up our Tucson RV's and took one going to Mesa and one going to Phoenix. There had been two Phoenix this AM but one was gone now. Over two hours at the lot today.


BB has a diesel and stopped in Forest City, I have a gas and fueled in Clear Lake. Diesel had been $.19 a gallon cheaper in Forest City so good she fueled there.


Next stop was the Burger King in Des Moines. It is at a QT, very limited truck parking and there wasn't any so we parked with the cars. Another half hour break and we were on our way.


Diesel was $2.79 at a Kum and Go in Bethany, about $.70 cheaper than the closest Love's. BB fueled, I waited.


Motel is the Quality Inn in Kearney. Same as last time this way. Got here a few minutes after sun set. We got poured on right before the IA-MO line. Rain drops the size of sand dollars were hitting the windshield.


Without a second leg, this was the best paying run on the board per day. CA runs were longer but paid less per day.
