From OKC, I drove I-44 to Strafford MO TA, where we had breakfast (bedtime snack, for me) at 0445.
I-44 through Oklahoma is mostly toll. It costs $14.25 to travel from OKC to Tulsa and $14.25 to travel from Tulsa to the Missouri border. It also is the replacement for Historic Route 66. (I actually got to drive on the original Route 66 back in Barstow once!) Not much action tonight, but I did cover 539 miles this shift.
Lori stopped at our Indianapolis IN OC at 1500. We ate & took off at 1700. I took over driving at the TA near Eaton OH at 1845.
I pulled in to the Overnite facility in Columbus OH at 2045 and dropped the trailer. I should note that Overnite is a subsidiary of the Union Pacific railroad (see history) and the UP has considered selling Overnite.
Our next load originates in Hebron KY, and the company wants to make sure we encounter no problems in taking it to TX, so they authorized me to bobtail (no trailer) from Columbus. Not having a trailer sure makes finding a parking place easier!
By the time I reached Wilmington OH, it was near midnight, so I decided to stop there & do the obligatory logbook paperwork.
