WI-IL-OH

Arrived in Plattesville, WI at 0100 Friday morning. Load wasn't ready so I backed up to the door and waited. Finally got loaded and left at 0210.

Trip took longer than it should have due to the dense fog. Visibility was only about 50 yards. The pavement was about the same color as the fog, so it made for an interesting drive. Took 61 through Dubuque and Davenport IA and then to 80 and finally 74 into Peoria. There was hardly anyone on 61 so it made for a lonely drive. Kept waiting for a deer or other critter to materialize out of the fog, but apparently they had the good sense to stay away thank goodness.

Dropped in Peoria at 0610 and headed for a truckstop in Bloomington, IL for some eats and sack. Dispatch woke me up at 1000 with a load from Chicago to Willard, OH. Pick up was 1300.

Arrived in Chicago at 1302. It was a cartage company and they had not found the skid I needed. Sat there for 2 and 1/2 hours before they found it. Left at 1540.

Drive to Willard was uneventful with the exception of all the holiday traffic. Dropped at 2155 and headed home from there. Arrived home at 0100 Saturday morning. Advised dispatch that I would be down for the holiday.

Haven't decided yet whether to go back in service Wednesday or wait until after New Year's. I'll watch the board and see what happens.
