Live! From Amherst, WI!

We made our deliveries this morning with plenty of time to spare, though it was a bit of a cluster. The first drop was no problem, however the second drop took a little more time. First, our instructions sent us to the wrong entrance gate, then we were told we needed to drop our empty trailer, hook to a loaded one, and bring it back to the company yard for another driver to pick up. The good news is, while we were doing all that...we got a load going south!!! Florida, to be exact. We don't pick up until tomorrow, but at least we got it. I'm not sure if I'll get dropped off in ATL on the way there or on the way back. Hopefully, the former.

My trainer and I met up with another trainer/trainee team here at the yard and we all took a company car out to dinner and played some pool afterwards. It was nice to get away from the truck for a while.

Wisconsin is pretty nice, especially this time of year. There are old farms nearby with rolling, tree-covered hills. It's not too cold (yet) and the leaves are still changing colors. Ah, the fall is a wonderful time of the year.
