Daily Summary for 9/20/2025

Appleton, WI to Olney, IL

Big Rig Travels day began early.  It was 63 degrees and dark, overcast skies near Appleton, WI, leaving the shipper.  “Good morning everyone, how are you doing?”  We needed to complete our paperwork.  “Paperwork, paperwork…”

Starting our trip to Olney, IL at 6:20 am after we had picked up our trailer which had been scheduled as a drop and hook, but turned into a live load. 

Story time at 6:36 am near Fox Crossing, WI.  

“Alright, welcome to Illinois, land of Lincoln” at 8:43 am near Wadsworth.  We then exited for a Love’s stop for coffee at 8:46 am.

Love’s stop at 1:11 pm near Greenup, IL for fuel, onions and hot dogs, but there ended up being no onions.  We are 97 gallons from Platium.  Also completed our 30 minute break.

Arrived at the Love’s near Olney, IL at 2:45 pm to find parking.  BRS stopped our clocks to wait for our unload scheduled at 6:00 pm.  He is unable to check in before 5:00, so planned on splitting the clock and taking 2 hrs break.  

At 4:56 pm left the Love’s for the receiver.  Arrived at the receiver at 5:01 pm, and stream ended.
