I'm on my way to Oshkosh,WI to pick up a military truck going to Greer, SC. Maybe I'm just feeling lazy tonight or maybe it's the nagging pain in my hip but I decided to stop short and get a hotel room for the night.
I'm still 3 1/2 hours from Oshkosh and probably should have kept going but I saw this hotel right off the interstate with a big sign that said "truck parking/trucker rates" and "free high speed internet" and took the exit. My dispatcher will probably be a tad miffed at me tomorrow but I'll deal with that tomorrow. After all, he never actually said there was any rush about it.
For now I'm sitting in the lounge enjoying a cold brew and relaxing a bit.. As much as I enjoy trucking sometimes it's nice to get out of the truck for a little while.
