1 trash truck to Dodge Center MN (delivered)
... spending the night at home
Up before the alarm - bacon for breakfast. I think I remember all of the people we have seen working here from past trips.
1st stop for me is the Fort Snelling Cemetery. BB has to stop and fuel so that gives me time to look up a couple of extended family members.
BB was so ... ready to go home this AM that I hadn't even looked at the load board or emails. But when BB gets in the car, the first thing she sees is three trucks in MN coming back to the cities. She does the math from how fast we could do them after we drop off my paperwork.
We could have left right from the airport and that would have saved us another hour. She thought we should drop off the paperwork first before getting the trucks. Because of how glad she was to be heading home this AM I suggested we wait to call until after I had dropped my paperwork and talked to those dispatchers.
No work today from the local dispatchers, they just wanted to know about the next two weeks.
So when I got back to the car I asked if we are still a go on the 3 MN trucks and BB said yes, so I called. All three were gone ... so home we go.
The only thing in the carriers storage lot was one bus with no markings. I looked for the paperwork but did not see it. I did see lot's of wiring cable laying all over the floor and even on the drivers seat.
The sweet corn that the squirrels haven't eaten or opened is ready. Usually I plant corn to be ready up through the 1st week of September. This year because spring was late and summer was hot the dates on the corn have meant little. Some never did get ripe or produce ears. And now I still have two plantings of corn that is not ready yet. It looks like it has been hit with blight but that could just be three weeks without watering.
I will start watering today and see if we get ears in the next two weeks.
This AM there were still two WI trucks out of MN, later there were two no-tow RV's out of IA to IL. But our plan is to stay local, likely metro for my local company.
