1 trash truck to Elk Grove Village IL

... spending the night at home

On our way back from our last trip, we had been listening to our Governor's Covid update. Sunday AM BB is looking online and there are places in the northern part of the state where she could get a vaccination on Monday. So Sunday AM we head up to Bemidji and spend the night there.

Local dispatch hadn't called on Friday so now they were just going to have to wait.

I called in at 8 AM, one dispatcher didn't have anything and the other one was on the phone.

The hotel was about a block from where BB was going so I just waited in the hotel until she came back. And dispatch called while BB was gone so I had to put the trip on hold for a few minutes.

We are heading to Chicago with another trash truck. I hadn't heard this at the time, but this shipping location quit making cement trucks last year ??? Don't know the why.

... later I searched online ...

McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing says it is moving its concrete mixer manufacturing operations out of Dodge Center, where it has been for the last 50 years.

The company says manufacturing will be moved to London, Ontario, Canada, and Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

My trip is not a hot rush trip so we will just leave out Tuesday and delivery first thing Wednesday morning.

And then ... ???

On the way up to, and the way back from Bemidji we stopped at a few cemeteries so I could take pictures and we walked.

Still over 200 RV's on the load board out of IA. I expect 100 RV's on the loadboard will be this years -0-.

We went past an RV dealer in Brainard that had only two RV's in their lot, one new, one used. They did have a lot of travel trailers.
