After staying pretty close to home while I purchased a house, I am back driving over the road. It is a dedicated route right now going from Romulus, Michigan, to Arlington, Texas. Due to the schedule most of the driving is at night, and last night being the first night was a bit brutal. The load was late leaving the shipper in Ontario, and it got delayed again crossing the border. So I ended up being up a lot later than I had planned for yesterday. I finally stopped in Mount Vernon, Illinois, at 6:30 AM because I just could not physically keep driving. I still could have driven further with my hours, but it would not have been safe at all. Tonight's bit of driving should be better, but I will have to use every driving hour I have just to get to the GM plant in Arlington. Then I think I have three stops to go to, but the paperwork is so confused from customs sorting through it, that I have no idea what paperwork goes with what stop. Just to make it more fun the directions that I have for the plant have nothing to do with the direction that I am coming from. I have been there once before, so have some idea, but will have to look more closely at the route for the final bit of driving before I leave here.
Right now just relaxing in the truck waiting for my sleep timer to put me back to sleep. I know I need more but my body woke me up for some reason a little over an hour ago. At least I have time, I won't be leaving out of here until around 6 or 7 tonight.
