Matthews, MO

What a long day. I checked-out of the motel this morning and got all of my stuff back in the truck just before the rain started to come down. The shipper was only a few miles away, and once I got there, they took their sweet time getting me loaded. In case you haven't noticed, shippers and receivers (with the occasional exception) pretty much don't care about a driver's time. At all. Fine. I crawled in the bed and went back to sleep.

The rest of the day was just a bunch of mind-numbing miles. I was greeted at the Missouri state line with black skies and a torrential rain. It only lasted about twenty minutes and a few miles later, I called it quits for the day here in Matthews. Tomorrow, Wisconsin.
