Life Day 21176 Independance Day

On the 3rd, I played on the computer until late afternoon to bring everything up to date. I was way behind on this BLOG. At 1730, I left Gibson and drove directly to the Consignee in Woodland. I arrived at 2100, did the drop/hook and then drove about 4 miles to a Sapp Brothers Truckstop in Clearfield, PA where I stopped for the night. There will probably be no freight tonight or tomorrow because of the holiday, so I "settled in for the long haul". I worked a whopping 4.25 hours and drove 208 miles in 3.75 hours.
Today, the 4th, I've been copying CD's into my hard-drive like a frenzied fiend. I was right about the freight situation. About 1300, the Planner offered me a load which picks up tomorrow AM at 0800 in Montgomery, PA and delivers in Pueblo, CO anytime on the 7th (95 miles empty and 1687 miles loaded). It also has an additional pick-up in Mechanicsburg, PA. I accepted it, and will probably drive to somewhere near Montgomery this evening to get an early start if possible. The closest Truckstop to the Shipper is in Milton, about 85 miles east of here and about 10 miles from the Customer.
