Oklahoma!

The trip down to OKC was easy, in part due to the 9,500 pound load that made climbing hills a breeze and in part the two days allotted to finish the 850ish mile trip.

I awoke around 0230 on Saturday morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I took advantage of my insomnia to head south, putting Chicago behind me. A few hours later I stopped for a nap then continued through the rest of Illinois and into Missouri where I stopped in Springfield to see the relations.

The rest of the journey took place today and the consignee let me exchange my loaded trailer for an empty that I took over to the nearest truck stop for the night.
