Charlotte, NC

We went to bed Friday night with expectation of waiting for a relay load to arrive in Edwardsville on Sunday morning, ohhh that hurts.


Saturday morning that load got canceled and our next w/a had us going across the street to Proctor and Gamble with a delivery today in Salisbury, NC. That's 742 miles and about three days to do it. That would give us time to stop in at Hartford, TN where they do the river rafting. Hooray, maybe. We got there Sunday and Saturday was the end of the season... Drat.

Anyway we had a nice evening there and delivered at noon today. We're at the Charlotte OC. Our next w/a has us picking up a load of rolled paper in Catawba, SC and delivering tomorrow night at 2100 in Danville, KY, 372 miles. We seem to be getting a lot of short loads, can't say that I like it.


While we in Edwardsville we watched these fellas piggyback 12 old Schneider trucks, 4 to a string. These old Schneider trucks are headed for Mexico.




For the record... tomorrow (8th) is my birthday - big 55.

16 days till TAH - headed to Boise for Scott and Jennie's wedding.

Not much else to report - see you in the funny pages, page 1.

Happy Birthday Bob! Sure, tell us after the fact so we all feel guilty about missing it...
