Alarm went off at 5 am, breakfast at 6 am. Scrambled eggs, bacon and cherry yogurt.


Picked up our paperwork at 7:15. There are a lot more RV's in the lot than are showing up our board for the drivers to pick from. Managed to get our RV's checked out in under an hour. No issues.


My RV was full of fuel so no fuel up-charge, no way for me to make money on the fuel this trip. BB has to guess on her fuel and fuels for the 1st time in Forest City. She will end up making about $20 on fuel for this one day trip.


This is a day of stops. Six, for a 261 mile trip.


Next stop is at the rest area near Northfield, MN. Have to make a few phone calls so we use the full 15 minute break.


I had planned on stopping again at a rest area near St Cloud, but BB was going to be ready to eat before that. (I thought we'd make it to Brainerd before eating) We stop at Clearwater at Nelson's. Great food, had the 1/2 sandwich and soup. Might be the same thing we had last time. This time we didn't get the carrot cake.


A few miles up the road we stop again for more fuel for BB. Holiday in Little Falls. Next stop at Hertz in Baxter. No one at the office so we are picking the keys up from the front desk at another company in the same building. We found a place to park and left one RV.


We get the first RV to the drop and stage it, then back to pick up the 2nd RV. BB needs to do a final fuel, so she fuels at the Holiday near the Hertz. Once both RV's are at the lot we go in and give them our paperwork and wait for them to get inspected. The customer can't get the generator started on mine, but that isn't a driver issue so we both deliver clear.


By now I have accepted work for tomorrow from the other company so we need to get back and drop the car ... before dark. At St Cloud we stop at the Culver's and then eat in the car. Culver's was the closest food place to the highway on this route.


We get back home and throw our bags in the house and grab a 2nd car. Now we are driving straight into the setting sun ... through road construction. Somehow we both make it :) I have time to take one grave picture at Fort Snelling before I get the call to pick up BB.


It is almost a 14 hour day by the time we get home ... and we still need to get our car in IA someday. If I hadn't been working tomorrow we'd have used the rental car to get our car. But I need to work when there is work. And we have plenty of cars right now.


Motel last night was paid with rewards points and the we only paid $2 for the rental car the rest was paid for with rewards points.


Not sure when our next overnight will be. We will likely go to IA in two weeks for a safety meeting ... and who knows when they will put more local stuff on the board.
