Chapter 5 – 09/28/25 Assignment and Book Review: Without a Hitch by Portia MacIntosh

October 2, 2025

Route: Maumee, OH to Auburn, NY: 485 miles (423 loaded + 62 deadhead)

09/28/25: Picked up a load in Maumee, OH at 14:00 EST going to Auburn, NY. We don’t have many deliveries in upstate NY so not familiar with the truck stops on route. There’s a couple of truck stops near the consignee but I was not going to make it at a decent hour and didn’t want to risk not finding parking. I stopped at a rest area on I-90 and had to do creative parking because it was full.

I made my delivery on time on 09/29 at 11:00am EST and the next assignment was a pick-up in McElhattan, PA which was 3hr away.

BOOK REVIEW: Without a Hitch by Portia MacIntosh (2025), Fiction – RATING (****)

A corny summer reading that was entertaining and held my attention to the end. The plot has as many holes as a wheel of Swiss cheese but it’s fiction so all good.
