IA-MO-IL

Dispatch called about 1000 Monday with a load from Lincoln, NE to St.Louis, MO delivery time 0900 Tuesday.

Picked up 8 crates of used industrial ink rollers going to a metalizing company in St.Louis. I assume they are going to rework them somehow.

Drove as far as Booneville, MO and shut down for the night. Headed out at 0600 Tuesday for the last 140 miles to delivery. Did my 10 in the sleeper so I would have the full 11/14 available.

Came in on I70 to 40 to 64 only to find 64 closed between 270 and 170. Had to go up 270 to 70 and back down 170 to 64. Still made the 0900 delivery time. Dock was one of those old block the street to back into it type. It was right under 64, so the building had been there for some time.

Went to the truckstop in East St.Louis, IL from there. Still had several hours left, but didn't get a load out. Hopefully today.

Sprinter #1 got a load from Columbus, OH to Champaign, IL that delivered direct.

Sprinter #2 didn't get anything from Cincinnati, OH and headed home to Columbus, OH as it is a more active board.
