I left at 1 AM EDT today. Scaled before I left. Found out I was over 8000 pounds overweight.
I left at 1 AM EDT and drove the rest of the way to Girard, OH. Delivered the excavator. Then drove back to the Port of Baltimore and loaded a Caterpillar. MH3022 Material Handler that is going up to Milford, Massachusetts.
From there, I went over to the TA truck stop in Baltimore. Had less than half an hour left on my clock for today. 610 miles today. I'm very tired, and my back really hurts. Hard to walk any distance.
I left at about 1 AM EDT and drove to the Port of Baltimore. Loaded a Caterpillar 315 Excavator that is going to Girard, Ohio.
Left there and drove to the AC&T truck stop in Hagerstown, Maryland for the night.
I got a late start this morning because I couldn't go over the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge until 8:30 AM EDT, so I left at 7:30 AM EDT. Drove to Milford, Massachusetts, and delivered the wheel loader. My next load is tomorrow back in Baltimore. I started that way and stopped for the night at the Pilot truck stop in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. This place is a zoo!!! I hate it!!! Trucks lined up 3 and 4 deep just to get fuel. Parking is tight and difficult to get into. I got here at about 2:30 PM EDT and barely got a parking spot. I waited over an hour to get a shower. Then, when I finally got in, there was almost no hot water. I HATE NEW ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!
Started at 4 AM EDT. Had everything timed perfectly so that I could deliver today. After fueling up in Scranton, PA, I noticed that the nimrods in the office didn't have the start date for my NY, CT, and MA permits until Monday!! I called the office to get them reordered so that I could continue. I stopped at the Onvo truck stop in Greentown, PA, to wait. After a few hours had gone by, they started to come in. All but New York. So I couldn't move. New York never did come in, so I'll be here until Monday morning. More wasted time!!! Good job, Carlisle!!!
I got my truck back again this morning, and everything worked on it!!! I drove to the Port of Baltimore and loaded a Caterpillar 972 Wheel Loader that is going to Milford, Massachusetts.
Well, I got my truck back, and it looks nice. Then my APU quit working, so I took it right back and dropped it off to get it repaired. I'm still in the hotel.
