They finally finished working on my truck at International in Harrisburg, PA, so this morning I went up there and brought it back to Carlisle. My trailer is not doing as well. It is still in pieces in the shop.
My truck is finished in the Daily shop, but it had to go to International in Harrisburg. They have not started on it yet. My trailer is in the Daily shop with all the wheels off. It needs a bunch of stuff done to it. I'm in a hotel. Have no idea how long I'll be here.
I left at 3 AM EDT and drove to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland. I-70 was closed in the Hagerstown area, and had to follow a detour that took about an hour to get through. Also, it rained all the way in. Delivered the tractor. After that, I drove to the "home office" in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. My truck is due for maintenance, and my trailer needs a few tires. Hand more rain on the way. In the area of the MD / PA state line, the rain changed to snow. It had all stopped by the time I got to Carlisle.
I left half an hour before sunrise this morning. All that bad weather in the Midwest that you heard about on the news today, I drove through several times. Periods of heavy rain, wind, and pea-sized hail. Made it safely to a small truck stop in Grantsville, Maryland, for the night.
I left at 2 AM EDT and drove to Sturdavant, Wisconsin, and loaded a Case 70325 Tractor that is going to the Port of Baltimore, and then it's going on a big boat to Romania.
I drove the rest of the way to Shelby, Michigan, and delivered the wheel loader. My next load is in Sturdevant, Wisconsin. I started off that way, but had to stop at the TA truck stop in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to get a flat tire repaired. Stayed there for my 10 hours.
I left Hagerstown, MD, at about 4 AM EST. Drove to the Pilot truck stop in Toledo, Ohio. I'll be here until Monday morning.
