Cherokee, AL

I should have known better than to come down I-65 through Kentucky. My routing actually had me taking I-57 down Illinois, but at the time, the fastest way out of Chicago was I-94 and that was my priority. Anyway, get your act together Kentucky. Your roads suck. Still.

Seeing as how the consignee is a 24-hr facility, I slept in this morning and took my time getting started. That was a nice change of pace. I'm afraid I may be seeing a lot more "change of pace". That's what has most impressed me about this company-I've stayed very busy in what is typically seen as the slow period for trucking. So far, I've always had a new load assignment before I finished the load I was on, except maybe once. So when I got a beep, I wasn't too surprised to find a preplan. I was surprised to see that the load wasn't scheduled to be ready until two days after I delivered my load at the same facility. I dropped my loaded trailer tonight and checked in with shipping to see if the new load was ready. Now, I know it's asking a lot. I'm lucky if most loads are ready when they're scheduled to be, much less earlier than scheduled. Of course it wasn't ready. I was told it may be loaded by tomorrow, though. Works for me.
