Richmond, KY

Any day you wake up and drive around Chicago and then go to bed, not in Chicago, is a good day. I knew I had to pick-up my next load by 3pm, so I didn't feel like waiting for my noon appointment time to get unloaded. When I arrived at 10:30am, there was another Wolding driver already there getting unloaded, so I had to wait in line. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long. I backed in and was empty by 11:30am. On to Chicago. Great - forty-five thousand pounds of scrap paper. I got loaded without any major problems and hit the road, stopping for lunch in Gary, IN. In order to make tomorrow as productive as possible, I drove until my 14-hr clock was up (almost) tonight so hopefully I can drop this load early and get something that will take me home. Sunday will be two weeks out, which means it's way past time for me to be home.

Here are some pics from earlier in the week:

It was a strange feeling to have oncoming traffic on the right
