I got us as far as the Pilot in Oak Creek WI. Lori drove into Green Bay. After dropping at the OC on the west side, she picked up a Proctor & Gamble load of paper products on the east side, but not before going through the seemingly obligatory trailer search.
She hooked up to an empty at the Green Bay OC, and called our STL (boss) to make sure it was assigned to her before she tried to depart the OC. Our STL told her that trailer number was shown as being in Maryland, and asked her if she was sure the number was correct. Since she was on the cell phone and standing right in front of the trailer in the Green Bay OC, she assured him that it was, in fact, not in Maryland, and our STL assigned it to us, and she was allowed to depart the OC to pick up the P&G load. You other Schneider drivers know that this is not an uncommon experience (send in your MAC 19s!)
Lori drove through the afternoon Chicago traffic and got us to the Gary IN OC, where I took over. We fueled, scaled, and drove a half hour down I-65 to the Pilot in Hebron IN where we enjoyed some McBurgers & fries. Lori went to bed, and I drove to my next break in Memphis IN @2100 and finished the day at the Ridgetop Truckstop in Ridgetop TN, just north of Nashville.
