South Carolina to Pittsburg Kansas / Rain & Ticks

Our route took us through Springfield Missouri yesterday. There was a significant downpour of rain and hail. While some were stopped on the shoulder of the road, we felt safe at 40 mph.

  We spent the night outside of our customer’s facility in Pittsburg Kansas. The weather was relatively nice. I had to towel the dogs off after they ran through the grass. For dinner, we made chicken, green beans, and little potatoes. Most of our meals are made in the truck nowadays.

  This morning, we got unloaded. I got acquainted with a fellow Schneider driver. He was interested in joining the independent contractors program. So, I gave him a couple of phone numbers and I sent a couple of messages to people at Schneider.

  We just got finished taking a walk down the street. Along the way, the puppies got acquainted with a large snapping turtle on the side of the road. We made them keep their distance. Returning to the truck, we did a tick check. Stephanie took a tick off of the back of my neck, and we removed ticks from each of the girls ears. The black dog is always the most resistant of the two.
