Oct 23, 2003

Finally, at 0215, my load was ready. I hooked up to TA688271 and, after replacing a side marker light that was missing, hit the road at 0245. The load was going to the Wal-Mart Distribution Center (DC) in Hope Mills NC, so I would be heading back south on I-77. I made it only as far as Caldwell, the same Pilot at which Lori & I switched out last night. I got there at 0430. Lori drove out at 0500.

I woke up in NC, just before Lori got onto I-95 south near Fayetteville.  I navigated us in to the DC. We dropped the loaded trailer and picked up empty TA945407. We took that up to a Bridgestone/Firestone plant in Wilson NC after stopping for a shower & dinner in Kenly.  We dropped the empty & hooked up to TA947217 bound for the Sears DC in Middletown PA.

From Wilson NC, I started north on US-301 to Rocky Mount, where I took US-64 west to I-95 north.  After sitting through a traffic jam due to construction, I stopped at the Flying-J in Ruther Glen, actually Carmel Church, VA just after midnight.  I got some coffee, and did my paperwork.
