Francis Creek, WI to Gary, IN
Big Rig Travels day began at 8:26 am. It is 38 degrees and overcast at the Citgo TS near Francis Creek, WI. Steve waves to the road crew as he returns at 8:32 am to the Blue Comet with fresh coffee. He advised we had pea sized hail last night. We are continuing our dead head trip to DePere, WI.
Arrival at the shipper at 9:15 am to check in. We are backed into a door by 9:30 am. 20 minutes later, we are loaded. We are starting our trip to Gary, IN.
Stopped at the BP truck stop with an A&W restaurant, as hail was falling on the hood of the Blue Comet for a weigh mass check at the Cat Scale at 10:08 am near Lawrence, WI. “We’re fine, no adjustment needed.”
Love’s stop at 11:28 am near the Town of Wilson, WI for “good coffee” as he was disappointed with both the previous BP and Citgo coffees. Also, checked messages.
Stopped on the I-43 on ramp to heat up his leftover biscuit breakfast sandwich from yesterday’s Love’s stop at 11:51 am.
Alright, welcome to Illinois at 1:21 pm near Wadsworth.
Love’s stop at 1:24 pm, taking on enough fuel to reach Diamond status for April. We will be retiring with Diamond status!
Free truck wash for the Blue Comet at 2:58 pm with heavy rain on the Illinois tri-state tollway I-294 near Markham, IL.
Welcome to Indiana at 3:12 pm, our 3rd state of the day near Munster.
Broadcast ends as we near the Gary Terminal at 3:27 pm. It was 69 degrees and raining. Steve advised that tomorrow we head out with another trailer that a driver will bring in overnight and will head to Onley, IL for our last trip.

Last Trip!!!!
God Speed Steve.
Enjoy the next chapter.
The end of one chapter of your life and the beginning of another. From Big Rig Steve to RV Steve. I hope Steve will restart his photography.
Also wishing Steve happy retirement – the end of a wondrous era! Just wondering why you’re unloading the truck in Danville? Did I miss something as I thought Steve lived in Belvidere ?!
