Long Day

Left the house at 23:00 Tuesday for normal Indiana route. Loaded and left terminal at 00:15. Arrived Muncie 03:07, Kokomo at 04:40, Fort Wayne at 07:10, and South Bend at 09:05. Heavy t/storms between Kokomo and Fort Wayne and very windy.

Drive from South Bend to Fallen Timbers service plaza on I-80 a tough one because of the wind. Sprinters really suck when it's windy. It's the only thing I don't like about them. Several flatbeds lost their tarps or pieces of them. Arrived at the plaza at 11:45. Grabbed a sandwich and slept until 14:00.

Picked up in Perrysburg at 14:50 and Elyria at 16:20. Started off for Columbus when dispatch called saying that a Cleveland driver did not have enough room to cover one of his stops. Turned around and went into downtown Cleveland during rush hour. YUK!!! Made Cleveland pick and headed south again. Arrived Columbus at 19:08.
