Well, we're back at it. Yesterday, actually. The first day is always the toughest. First we add an extra 2 1/2 hours to get from Ponca City down to Oklahoma City. Of course that's if you don't forget anything important. Which I did. We were about 18 miles from Joe and Beth's place and I realized I had left my phone on the bed after we assembled it. So add another 40 minutes to our original 2 1/2 and it can be a long day.
Our first w/a came immediately after signing in - pick up a trailer there at the drop lot and dead head up to Winfield, KS, 143 miles, deliver in Elkhart, IN on Friday at 0800 est. The w/a indicated there would be a trailer preloaded for us. No such luck. The guy there said Schneider always tells their drivers that is the case and it never is. The loaded us up with tote-and-store rollie carts that they make there. We got as far as Springfield, MO for the night.
Since the Funny Lady hates early morning departures I wanted to get as close as possible to Elkhart tonight so we could get up at 0700 est and make it there early. We jammed into Gary, IN at 1615 and showered at the OC then skipped on over to Elkhart, 580 miles for the day. We are on I80 toll way 2 miles from the exit for the consignee. We should be there by 0730 and unloaded by 1000.
I have to make this catch up post quick. I couldn't find any plugins at the service plaza and the laptop is running on fumes.
We're good and have 23 days until our next TAH. Seems like a long time without a day off, but we're still enjoying it. Spring is springing everywhere and we get to see it all over the country.
