 An abysmal performance.  The Gators were terrible right from the start.

 I left last night at about 10 PM EST.  Drove 603 miles to the TA truck stop in Troy, Illinois.  I'll be here until Monday morning.  Now it's time for some more great SEC Football!!!!

 I left Vero Beach at 2 AM EST and drove to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia.  Loaded a Caterpillar 653 Track Loader that is going to Fenton, Missouri.

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Jackson, Georgia for my 10 hours.  536 miles today.

 I left at about 2 AM EST and drove the rest of the way down to South Bay, Florida.  I arrived at 5:45 AM. They are making a 16-mile dam and reservoir there.  The project is massively huge!!!!  They were not ready for us when we arrived.  They didn't have anything big enough to lift the counterweight.  They tried with a Caterpillar 966 Wheel Loader that had fork attachment on it.  When they lifted it, the counterweight didn't move, but the back wheels of the wheel loader came up off the ground.  SO, I had to wait while they called something to come and lift it.  At about noon, they finally lifted the counterweight off my trailer, and I left.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Vero Beach, FL, because I was just about out of hours for today.  Burned up too many sitting around waiting.  I load tomorrow in Brunswick, Georgia.

 This morning, I went to League City, TX, for my 10 AM CST loading appointment.  Loaded a 30,000-pound counterweight for a Komatsu PC900 Excavator.  It is going to South Bay, Florida.

This is an internet photo of the machine this counterweight attaches.  The machine is so big that it has to be totally disassembled to transport it.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Lafayette, Louisiana, for my 10 hours.

 I left at about 2 AM CST and drove the rest of the way to Dallas and delivered the excavator.  My next load is in League City, Texas.  That is down near Galveston.  I drove to the Daily terminal in Houston for the night.  I have a 10 AM loading appointment in the morning.

 I left at about 11:30 PM MST.  Another very good night/day on the road.  As I went through Amarillo, Texas, I stopped for lunch at The Big Texan.  They are all decorated for Christmas. No one was doing the 72-ounce challenge today.

Delicious, as usual. After lunch, I continued on to the Love's truck stop in Quanah, Texas.  Will be here until Monday morning. 640 miles today.  Now it is time for some SEC football.
