Iowa isn't all underwater

Well, It's been so long that it would be impractical to give you the last month and a half, so let's try and work from the not so distant past and go from there. I am at an I-80 rest area near Victor Iowa where I am bedded down for the night, man I love rest areas with a web connection! It is safe to say from my run through Iowa today that the state is not all drowning, it has been a blue sky day from Illinois to Des Moines where I delivered 45,000lbs of synthetic rubber to the Firestone plant this afternoon. Next stop, Washington state.

I have been to two OC's in the last six weeks on the road, so connections to the Internet have been non existent, My adventures in NYC and Virginia Beach will have to be updated at another time, but I have been logging some really good miles out here, and that is the whole point of this kind of job. The home time thing is really getting to me lately, and I doubt that this is going away any time soon. I've been home for three days in the last seven weeks, and that is just not enough time out of this tin can.

Another "Trick my Truck" I saw in our West Memphis OC last month

Pretty run through Arizona last month.

They make this stuff in Texas across from the Ocean Spray cranberry plant, love this stuff!

I'm beginning to realize my BLOG posts aren't as long and witty as they were about six months ago, nor are they as frequent, for this I apologize. For as much of the country that I have seen, and am quite comfortable running in now, I am being dispatched in new directions away from my "normal" routes. This is good because it pushes my boundaries, and I always think that is a good thing, but it is requiring more time to trip plan, and more brain power to put it all together without driving off the road, there's not as much left of me at the end of the day right now. Oh yeah, and something about a bad economy that has really tightened up my delivery times not leaving as much fluffy times for things like this.

That's a shame because I like blogging, and keeping a record of the big 'ole world out here, ao I will keep trying to bang the keys whenever possible!

See ya on the highway!
