Back home in Joliet, IL after a busy week traveling out east.
When I left tuesday morning, along the Ohio Turnpike, at an Service Plaza, I chatted with a expediter with Diamond Delivery (in a Sprinter) out of Ft. Wayne, IN. real nice guy.
Wednesday along I-80 in a rest area, wife was chatting with another expediter in a white sprinter but did not get his carrier, he was busy petting our siberian husky. Later that afternoon when we got into Poughkeepsie NY. I was getting gas at the Hess gas station at Rte.9 and I-84, I saw a guy in a fairly new Ford C/V with no signage, but he was pulling out.
Friday, the drive from Poughkeepsie, NY to Allentown, PA was quiet and I saw a few expediters...mostly straights from LEAM and a few FedEx CC.
Sunday, driving back, I overslept at the hotel, and the rest of our traveling party left us behind....I was behind ohhh an hour or so and maybe 40 miles behind them and would've caught up to them but got stopped for speeding by Pennsylvania State Police just east of Mifflinville exit. But he gave me a break with a warning! *(It helped to have some ID with me from another job I do besides expediting). Later in the day, as I got into Ohio and on the Ohio Turnpike, saw a Bolt C/V get stopped by an Ohio Highway Patrolman. I finally caught up to one of our traveling party in Indiana, at the travel plaza near Shipshewana exit. Then kept going and out of three traveling parties... I was the last to leave, and was first to get home! Now that's some dang good driving.
So now I work my fulltime job, for three days and will call in for a hot weekend trip hopefully this upcoming thursday through sunday. *this past trip, was good to get on the road, I have really missed driving.
