 This morning I delivered the engine.  Then I drove to the Jacksonville, Florida terminal.  Will be here for about a week.

 I left at 1 AM EDT.  Drove 573 miles to the TA truck stop in Richland Hills, Georgia.  Along the way stopped in Atlanta and got the truck washed.  Boy, it sure needed it!!!

 I left at 3 AM CDT and drove over to Lafayette, Indiana.  Loaded a small Caterpillar engine and a small parts box.  They are going to Savannah, Georgia.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Smiths Grove, Kentucky for my 10 hours.

 Well, I sat there all day.  This evening, at about 6:30 PM CDT, I was finally taken back to the job site to unload.  After unloading, I went over to the Love's truck stop about 20 miles away.

 I left at about 1:30 AM CDT.  Drove to Charleston, Illinois, to a staging area in a corn field for another wind farm project.  There are a lot of tower sections, nacelles, and hubs here.

With them were all their pilot escort cars.

There were four other Daily trucks here too.  I made the fifth.

They are running behind unloading, so it is looking like I won't get unloaded until tomorrow.  I'll sit here until then.  577 miles today.

 I went over to a warehouse in Houston this morning and loaded a GE Generator that is going to a job site in Charleston, Illinois.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Prescott, Arkansas, for the night.  Only 374 miles today.

 I left half an hour before sunrise this morning.  Got stuck in severe bumper-to-bumper rush-hour traffic.  It took an hour longer than it normally would to get to Cypress, Texas.  I finally got there and delivered the dozer.  I didn't have another load lined up yet, so I went to the Daily terminal in Houston to wait.
