1 box truck to Lake Longview TX (delivered)

... spending the night at Alvarado TX

Up before the alarm, rolling at our usual time <> 7:30. Pretty quiet, even for a Saturday AM.

1st stop is in Cameron at the Loves for fuel. $2.49 today. We were a few miles short of the next Loves for range.

There is still a few spots of snow in the shade of the ditches in MO, IA and MN. Other than that it the snow is gone, most of the ice is gone.

2nd stop is McCallister's in West Des Moines. It was still early but after Des Moines, it is just the standard food at every exit.

TX dispatch put another trip on the load board after I shut down last night. Going to Las Vegas. That trip and a few more were gone by noon.

KS dispatch had put out trips too, but not to the midwest this time.

3rd stop was the Pilot in IA. Fuel is a little cheaper here than MN and we need one more rest stop before picking up our car.

4th stop is picking up our car. The shipper is working today, Saturday. That is good :) This is the end of their quarter. Knowing they are working to get stuff pushed out ... we will wait for good trips :)

Now that we should have all of our tax info, BB wants a couple of days at home. So I may, may check on working local without BB on Monday.

5th stop for me was the lab. In and out in seconds/minutes. I was at the airport before BB called me. Picked her up as she walked across the traffic. We then stopped at Tinucci's before heading home.

Load board

US - 80

IA - 5

MN - 2

WI - 4

No work for tomorrow.

This last trip was one of the good ones even without getting work out of TX. Covered the bills by working less than two weeks. (But we still need to catch up from Jan)
