Heading out in the morning, same kind of deal, some pharma shipment. I'll post up a link when I'm on my way. |

This may make me a real .... But I sure hope you are being paid well for your runs into hot zones. I believe it to be going above and beyond 'Just doing your job.' Please be safe. |

I'm approaching my 9th anniversary at ATL Courier. I'm keeping my full salary while others who have been here 20+ years are being let go. And I am well paid to begin with, so there we go. |

If you're coming through Cincinnati, I 'll turn you on to some of the best burnt ends you've ever tasted. |

Do be safe! I assume folks at the destination are cooperative with distancing. We don't need more personal stories about the WuFlu. |

Unfortunately, no part of my route touches Ohio... maybe I can find something that comes back that way...

35 minute difference on way back to take I74 from Indianapolis to Cincinnati. Exit #1 on I74 in Ohio for those Crusty certified burnt ends. Well worth the trip. ATL will get a bill from the Kentucky Indiana bridge crossing going North. All camera, no booths. Are you running two drivers? |

Solo trip this time around. RD, you make a hell of a good point. It's only a few extra miles to detour through Cincinnati. And... Saturday IS my birthday... I probably deserve some kind of a treat. Crusty, do they have a patio we can eat on? |

Matthew; I just checked their website. They're Temporarily Closed. Well; that sucks. I guess it'll have to wait until some time in the future. I hope the hospitals can get this Chinese Virus under control soon and life can get back to normal. I'm really starting to get annoyed. |

Arrrgghh... Well, I guess it's a turn and burn for me then. Waiting around for this shipper to open up, get loaded and then go 50 miles in the opposite direction to get the export paperwork... great planning on the part of the broker. (Message edited by pwnzor on April 03, 2020) |

On site for delivery, waiting for a dock door. Jerry/Carol by the time I get done here it will be pretty late... Hang on to that towel and I'll get it next time. |

Mission accomplished. The Russians get their drugs tomorrow. Now I need to find a place to take a nap. Heading south.

My apologies Matt. If I had been thinking, and watching closer, I could have gave you a room a mile off 465 on the South West of Indianapolis. At the least a quiet safe parking spot, fire pit and wood, a hammock, and dog for company. The one night I go to bed early. |

Hahaha... It was actually Sonic for breakfast but I think there was a taco bell next door. RD, I had thought about asking but I didn't want to intrude in the middle of the night. I'm home. Got to clean up the van tomorrow for the next mission. Also, yard work and fix the kitchen drawer. Looks like it will be a beautiful day. |

How's the traffic on 80/94 near the IL border? Probably moving much better than usual I would imagine. |

I'll keep that in mind. I don't drink when I'm working though, so no issue there. |

What's work? I've been told I've got maybe two thousand bucks worth of firewood laid out after the tree attacked my house. Needing some talent for splitting wood, chunks bigger than our cars, all old oak. I'm willing to work... needing some help.
