More to the country outside the 13 orignial colonies
I have just driven further west than I have since I started driving a truck. I am out in Ohio now. I pulled a heavy load from the eastern shore of Maryland to Ohio. I told my boss that I wanted to be paid per shift for this trip. I down shifted and up shifted a lot on this trip. I am at the Seville OC, the only other OC I have ever been in is the Carlisle, PA OC.
The Seville OC is a nice place. I am sad that it will soon be closing. I feel bad for the people that work there that may soon be out of work or have to relocate. I hope that everything works out for all of them.
I could kick myself for not being a good trip planner. Let me explain. My load coming out to Ohio I dropped off in Groveport. Then I was to bob tail to the Seville, OC and exchange tractors there. Then I had to go to a town near Canton, Ohio for a pick up coming back east. Herein is where the kick comes in. The east bound load was not going to be ready until 8 p.m. I got to the OC around 3p.m. if I remember correctly. Does anyone know what is in Canton, Ohio? Anyone? Bueller?.....That is right the football hall of fame. Therefore, had I done a good trip plan I would have known this and waited for my load to be ready at the previously mentioned hall of fame.
I had no idea that there was more to this country then the 13 original colonies, since I mostly run the north east region.

September coming to a close
Wow! September is quickly coming to a close. Time sure does fly by unless you are on a dot break. This has to be one of my favorite times of the year. Football season is here, cool nights for better sleeping.
The new truck is running great. We are getting along well. The new route is good and bad. All for the most part is well. I will have to snap a few pictures of the new ride and post them.
