 Went over to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia.  Loaded a Tadano AC 2.04 Crane that is going to Louisville, Mississippi.  My first time driving one of these types of cranes.  It drove great!!  

Left there in good time.  This load is really top-heavy on the trailer!!  One of the most top-heavy loads I have ever had.  Have to be VERY careful on the curves.  I made it farther than I thought I would today.  I drove 323 miles to the Petro truck stop in Shorter, Alabama, for the night.

 I left at 1 AM EDT.  The video below was just north of Spartanburg, North Carolina.

Drove to Savannah, Georgia, and delivered the stuff.  My next load is tomorrow morning in Brunswick, Georgia.  I went to the TA truck stop in Brunswick for the night.  554 miles today.

 I left at 3 AM EDT and drove to Lafayette, Indiana.  Loaded a Caterpillar engine and two of the three boxes that went with it.  They said that the third box was at their other warehouse, which was a couple of miles away.  I went there.  They spent an hour looking for it.  Couldn't find it.  They finally figured out that it was back where I loaded the engine and the other two boxes.  SO, I went back there, and they put the box on my trailer.  This stuff is going to Savannah, Georgia.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Pioneer, Tennessee, for my 10 hours.  Did three loads of laundry when I got here.  554 miles today. Finished with everything just before the rain started.  Good timing!!

 I left at 2 AM EDT and drove nonstop to Novi, Michigan, and delivered the excavator.  My next load is tomorrow in Lafayette, Indiana.  I started off in that direction.  Stopped for the night when I ran out of hours at the Petro truck stop in Fremont, Indiana.  538 miles today.

 I delivered the track loader first thing this morning.  Didn't have another load yet, so I went to the AC&T truck stop in Hagerstown, Maryland, to wait.  At about 9:30, I got my next load.  I drove to the Port of Baltimore and loaded a Caterpillar 317 Excavator that is going to Novi, Michigan. 

Had to wait until 1 PM for the Port people to come back from lunch so I could get my paperwork.  They didn't show up until 1:45.   Then I left and drove to the TA truck stop in Breezewood, Pennsylvania, for the night.

 I left at 2 AM EDT and had a nice, uneventful day on the road.  Drove 534 miles to the Flying J truck stop in Winchester, Virginia.  I deliver a few blocks from here Monday morning.
