Even though I went to bed last night, I couldn't sleep. The tire guy returned with the tire and put it back on the trailer. Doing that bounced the truck around a bit. Have you ever been so tired that you couldn't sleep? Well, that was me last night. At 1:30 AM EDT when my 10 hours were up, I left. Drove for about three and a half hours then used my 30-minute break to take a nap. This time I slept. An hour and a half later I got up and was back on the road again. My permit route today was stupid!!! Here is Indiana...
Illinois was worse!!! Google was correct. It did take every bit of that hour and twenty minutes to go 38 miles. Lots of heavy Chicago suburb traffic with stop lights galore!!! Of course, I had to stop for about 90% of them. Some I had to stop for twice!!
But I finally got there and delivered the Gradall. My next load is tomorrow morning in Davenport, Iowa. I started off that way. Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in LaSalle, Illinois. 495 difficult miles today. Now I'm gonna get some real sleep.
