 I left at about 4:30 AM EDT and drove the rest of the way to Sterling, Virginia, and delivered the track loader.  From there, I drove to the "home office" in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  Had some very minor work done on the truck and got a new tire on my trailer.  I was due for my annual DOT Physical (which was the main reason for going to Carlisle) and got that done. Went to the grocery store.  Also helped out another driver a little bit.  Now I'm ready to go again Monday morning.

 This afternoon I went to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia, and loaded a Caterpillar 963 Track Loader that is going to Sterling, Virginia.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Richmond Hill, Georgia, for my 10 hours.

 I delivered the engine and parts boxes first thing this morning in Savannah, Georgia.  From there, I drove to the Port of Georgia in Brunswick, Georgia, and loaded a Caterpillar 966 Wheel Loader.

I left there and drove down to Ocala, Florida, and delivered it.  Then drove to the Daily terminal in Jacksonville.

 I left at 4:30 AM EDT and drove to the Pilot truck stop in Port Wentworth, Georgia.  It is about 4 miles from delivery.  I'll be here until Monday morning.

 I left last night at 11:30 PM EDT.  I drove through the "Gorge" on I-40 between Knoxville, TN, and Asheville, NC.  The last time I went that way was during the hurricane that washed away I-40.  They still have only one lane open each direction.  It is amazing how close I came to being washed away with the Interstate that day.  I drove 521 miles today and stopped at the Love's truck stop in Newberry, South Carolina.
