Last night, my air conditioning totally went out.  Had to idle the truck all night

 I was at Thermoking first thing this morning to get my APU fixed.  They took it right in and got to work on it.  The A/C compressor went bad so they replaced it. Then they checked out the rest of it. They found a couple more issues and fixed them too.  It took all day!!!  I left there at quitting time and went back to the Daily Yard.

 I left early and was in Ocala to deliver when they opened.  Delivered the excavator and drove back to Jacksonville.  This afternoon my APU started to act up so tomorrow morning I'll be at Thermoking when they open to get that serviced.  It's always something!!!

I was at International in Jacksonville before they opened.  When they opened, they took my truck in right away and fixed it.  I was out of there before noon.  Went back to the yard and got my trailer.  Then up to the Port in Brunswick and loaded a Caterpillar 315 Excavator that is going to Ocala, Florida. 



After that, I went back to the Daily Yard in Jacksonville for the night.

 This morning I went to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia and loaded a Caterpillar D5 Dozer that was going to Midway, Florida.



Left there and drove to Midway and delivered the dozer.  From there I went back to the Daily Yard in Jacksonville.  On the way, my check engine light came on.  


Tomorrow I'll go to International to get that fixed.

 When my 10 hours were up, I left.  Drive to the Daily yard in Jacksonville, Florida.  My truck was due for an oil change so I went to the local Love's truck stop and had that done.  Back to the yard after that.  Monday I'll head to Brunswick, Georgia for my next load.

 I left Earle, Arkansas at sunrise this morning.  Had a good day on the road except for Atlanta.  Quite a bit of bumper-to-bumper traffic there. BUT I made it to Macon, Georgia just in time to deliver today.  I drove over 8 1/2 hours nonstop, 549 miles, to get there in time. From there I went to the Love's truck stop about a mile away for the night.  I'm exhausted!!!  Good night.

 At about 4:30 AM CDT, a thunderstorm came through. It was pretty good! There was pea-sized hail, very heavy wind, rain, and a lot of lightning.

Left there at sunrise.  Pretty good day on the road.  Drove 539 miles to the TA truck stop in Earle, Arkansas for the night.
