OH-WV-OH

Another long deadhead to pick up a load. Picked up in Eleanor, WV 173 miles from the house. Going to Brook Park, OH for a 0500 delivery today.

Stopped at the Pilot near Caldwell, OH for the night and left about 0200. Roads were bad due to ANOTHER winter storm. Snow covered all the way to Brook Park.

Arrived on time only to find out that the receiving dept. didn't open until 0615. Could have had another hour of sleep. This place was a pain as you had to check in at one building and drive to another to unload. Tough to do in 7 inches of snow at a major auto plant that is more like a maze than anything else. Didn't get out of there until 0830 as they had trouble unloading the truck. Their fork lifts were too tall to get the front four pallets off, and they hit my door pulling one of the rollers off. I fixed it well enough to open and close until I get home to replace the roller.

Presently at a service plaza on the Ohio Turnpike out of hours until 1900. Almost got a load from Johnstown, PA to Lockheed Martin in Bridgeport, NJ but it was too heavy for my truck. One reader of this blog will be interested in that once he reads it.

Will probably be stuck here for the night unless dispatch comes up with something.
