501.4 miles; 13 hours, 28 minutes

      My morning was like every typical morning…routine. After five years, I have developed a routine of awaking to getting dressed, and get some form of breakfast to bring back to the truck. I catch up with the paperwork from the day before, entailing the printing of the Driver’s Daily Log, and transferring specific data to the spreadsheet I keep up with, following the same rule as my logbook, “Log it as you go.”

   

It was the Friday before Memorial day weekend. Traffic was moderate, with only one real vehicle accident on the opposite direction of the highway. More mess than injury or tragedy. Otherwise, it was “just another day in paradise”.
