 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.

 I left at about 2:30 AM CDT. Drove to Lafayette, Indiana, and loaded a Caterpillar engine and some parts boxes that are going to Savannah, Georgia.

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Seymour, Indiana, for my 10 hours.

 I left at 11:30 PM CDT.  Drove all night to Weston, Wisconsin.  Got there a bit before they opened.  When they got there, I delivered the excavator.  My next load is tomorrow in Lafayette, Indiana.  I started off that way but stopped for the rest of the day at the Petro truck stop in Portage, Wisconsin.  524 miles today.

When my 10 hours were up, I left at 11:30 PM EDT last night.  No traffic issues today.  I drove 472 miles nonstop in seven and a half hours.  The only reason I stopped was that I had to do the required 30-minute break. Then continued on to the Love's truck stop in Tuscola, Illinois.  648 total miles today.
