I arrived at my Chicago-land, IL delivery location with time to spare. The unload process took longer than it should have (no more than one & one-half hours for a trailer-full of merchandise for one stop). So, it took a bit longer to get back to the warehouse than it should have.
In the early afternoon, I attended the quarterly safety meeting. No new information--just a review of how professional drivers practice good, safe driving habits. We also heard the latest information on some aspects of the company. Supposedly, the company is in the process of buying new trucks to replace older models within the fleet. Seems like International got the nod this time (instead of Freightliner). I had hoped that the company would have picked Peterbilt, Kenworth, or even Volvo (grin).
Instead of going to Duluth, MN (not enough hours), I'm going to a suburb of Minneapolis, MN.
The weather was cloudy all day and north of Madison it rained all the way up to Minneapolis. The Midwest needs the rain--it's supposed to rain over the next several days on and off.
Well, after some more fuzzy logging, it's time to sleep.
