Got back to Gary Wednesday night and got "the new stuff" moved in. Then headed off to the grocery store for perishables. Signed into the Qualcomm at about 9 pm and got the next work assignment - take a loaded trailer out of Gary (Chrysler auto parts) and take it to Memphis, TN. Got to Caruthersville, MO and got fuel and took a walk. Realized there was a riverboat casino nearby. They offer a shuttle from the Pilot Travel Center, cool, took a ride. We spent about an hour there. Walked out on the upper deck overlooking the "Big Muddy" Mississippi River.
Netted up 1 buck, except for the tips to the shuttle driver. So it was great, nice little town - 6,760 residents.
Got on down to Chrysler in Memphis at 9 am. Oh I forgot, I had asked dispatch to look out for some south or west or southwest loads since I have been driving the east since I started. Charles is the dispatch dude and said he would. So on the way to Memphis got my next work assignment - Kissimme, FL another cool. BUT as I was unloading I got a change to pick up a relay load and take it up to Joliet, IL. AHHHHH. Oh well, in an Idle Aire in Mt. Vernon, IL now and will deliver about noon tomorrow. Then we'll see what the next load holds...
Having more fun now... so far so good.
