1 trash truck to Williston ND (delivered)

... spending the night at home

No alarm, OK breakfast. We head out by 8 AM (instead of 7:30)

1st stop is just west of Jamestown at the rest area. It hasn't been two hours yet but it has been 100 miles ... and we are not ? in a rush.

2nd stop is in Fargo for Schlotzsky's. We did not get one last night but we did find one in Fargo, now we have been to both ND locations. We ordered to go. We are there just after 11 when they open so we are one of the first customers of the day. Still not fast service. It takes us about a half hour from freeway back to the freeway.

I get a half an original and a small soup. Potato soup that I drink from the cup after I'm done with the sandwich.

3rd stop is Alexandria rest area, another 100 miles down the road.

4th stop is for fuel and the rest room in Arden Hills, we have enough fuel to get home but BB needs to stop. So we exit where the first fuel station is that we can see from the freeway. Road construction, one way only. It added about a half hour to our trip.

5th and final stop is home ... sort of.

As soon as we get home I do the paperwork for the trips and then we bring them back to the office. Dispatchers are all gone but there are 11 trucks sitting in the lot ready to go. Not sure which one they wanted me for.

BB has been watching the load board all day. We do not really want to be gone over the holiday because of the traffic and the prices. But family all has other plans so nothing planned at home either.

Later in the day, dispatch added some more trips but nothing that changed our plans. We are not sure if we will try to call in tomorrow, if they are open. Or if we will just wait until Tuesday AM. On one of the trips picking up a car Thursday instead of Wednesday is $100 less.

There are two trips, as of now, that we would do OK on. Out and back, that is pretty much all we will have time for.

Next post ... new month.
