Went over to the Caterpillar dealer in Perrysburg and delivered the excavator. In the process of unloading, one of the air lines got cut when the excavator ran over it.
I left at about 1 AM EDT when my ten hours were up. Drove to the TA truck stop in Perrysburg, Ohio. Will deliver on Monday morning.

I drove to the Port of Baltimore this morning. Was there before they opened. After checking in, I loaded a Caterpillar 313 Excavator that is going to Perrysburg, Ohio.
This machine is exactly 8 feet, 6 inches wide, so it had to be perfect on the trailer so that nothing hung over the side. I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Wheeling, West Virginia, for my ten hours.
Drove over to Clear Brook, Virginia, this morning and delivered the remaining excavator when they opened. From there drove up to the "home office" in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. They wanted to do a little more work on my truck. Spent all day there. I'll load tomorrow morning in Baltimore
I left at 1:30 AM EDT when my 10 hours were up. Drove to Annapolis, Maryland, and delivered one of the excavators. From there, I went over to the TA truck stop in Jessup, MD. This place is really bad. I avoid this TA as much as possible. They charge $35 a night to park here. Everything else is way overpriced, too. Horrible place!!!! The only reason I'm here now is that I didn't have enough hours left to go anywhere else.
I took a nice ride over to Athens, Georgia, this morning to load. One of the machines I was to load was broken, and they had to fix it. I sat there for over an hour waiting. Finally loaded two Caterpillar 306 Excavators. One is going to Annapolis, Maryland, and the other is going to Clear Brook, Virginia.
This morning I went to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia, and loaded a Caterpillar 323 Excavator.
Left there and drove to Macon, Georgia, and delivered it. Stopped at the Love's truck stop in Macon for the night. Load tomorrow morning in Athens, GA. 10:30 AM Loading appointment.
