Sioux Falls, SD - 5/31/09

South Dakota: Check

I made good time to Kansas City this morning. After calling to see if the load was ready early, and learning that it was, I hit the road around 9am. After a drop and hook, I made my way back to Missouri for some fuel and lunch. Not much excitement in Missouri, just in case you were wondering. Ditto for Iowa.

South Dakota, not to be outdone by Iowa's bridge work, tore up the entire northbound lanes of I-29 for a good many miles. Thus, I found myself driving north in the southbound lanes once again. Unlike Iowa, however, since the speed limit in SD is 75mph, their idea of a safe speed through the construction zone is 65mph. I didn't even have to touch the brakes. And traffic was flowing smoothly. I think some other cities should take note: Chicago *cough* Atlanta *cough*

I'm only a few miles from the receiver, so my morning drive for a 7am appointment should be pretty quick. I'm down to about 6 hours on my 70-hr clock, so tomorrow should be a relatively light day.
