Driving in Circles - and getting paid for it!

At this moment I am sitting in Arkansas - again! I spent last Thursday and Friday with my youngest son down in Pine Bluff. I left Saturday and went to Michigan. Delivered that one in the morning and made a 350 mile circle there reloading two more (Ann Arbor and Flint) and then headed down to Illinois. On my way out of Michigan, I passed with 50 miles of where I went in that morning.

Tuesday I delivered one in IL and the second went on to Missouri. Then looped back again into IL - with-in 10 miles this time of where I had just been - and reloaded for AR, where I just delivered.

My next load goes from West Memphis, AR to ..... Guess where! .... Detroit, Michigan!

Are you keeping up? Sounds like a lot of driving? It is. But I have been quite fortunate and getting decent trips (pay wise) going somewhere I want (the South and Midwest). But it has been expensive. When I run this hard, I will spend $150 A DAY in fuel and food. But in 30-days, or so, it will start coming in. Feast and Famine!

GTG, they are waiting for me in W. Memphis!
