Left out of Ankeny before eight o'clock. No issues with rush hour traffic.

1st stop was a rest area near Adair, IA.

Still working on the bridges and roads in Council Bluffs, plenty of roads in Omaha ... 7 lanes wide in places.

2nd stop was a Shell station in Greenwood, NE. Gas was cheaper in Lincoln but I didn't have enough fuel to get that far and the cheap gas was off the Interstate so it was marginally worth it to drive to it.

3rd stop was the Iron Skillet at Petro in York, NE. The layout of the buffet has changed, I think they have a lot fewer choices but still more than I can eat.

4th stop was another rest area, that seems to be our pattern.

5th stop was fuel and food in Ogallal, NE. Fueled at Wal-mart, my pump shut down so I had to wait a while to get a receipt from the cashier after their computers rebutted. Food was next door at Wendy's. I walked up to the door 1st as it didn't look like it was open, by the time we left the place was hoppin' (people are more likely to stop if they know it's open?)

Final stop, Sidney, NE Quality Inn. 550 miles today.

Looking at our DOT hours we won't have the time to pick up any work on the way home ... in the three years we've been doing this, we've only gotten one truck between the three companies we work for so the chances were slim even if we tried to get work.
