TWJ – Homer, MI to Woodhaven, MI
Thursday, while sitting at a rest area near Mashall, Michigan, I got a call for a short run picking up about 20 miles away in Homer, MI and dropping off a couple hours later at a cross dock in Woodhaven, Michigan. I guess a short run is better than no run. hehe
I had to drive about 20 miles on rough 2 lane roads to get to my pick up spot, but found it with no trouble. The place was actually closed when I got there, so I had to walk around inside the building for a while before I actually found someone. I was eventually loaded up with some prototype parts for Chrysler.
Once loaded, it was a quick drive to the cross dock where I got unloaded. After getting unloaded, I drove down to a cross dock in Swanton, Ohio and spent the night.
TWJ – Evansville, IN to Warren, MI
I picked up a run Wednesday evening at Guardian Automotive in Evansville, Indiana and dropped it off Thursday morning in Warren, Michigan.
I had two big metal racks of front grills for a Chrysler vehicle. They filled up the back of the van so I had no room to sleep back there. I arrived at my location about 3 hours before I could unload, so I tried to get a little sleep in the front seat. I have have gotten a little, but not much.
After I got unloaded, I drove about 80 miles west to a rest area and got a few hours of sleep. After I woke up and packed everything up, I drove to a Love’s truck stop in Marshall, Michigan, fueled up, turned in my paperwork, got a bite to eat and then drove back to a rest area.
