I left a half hour before sunrise this morning. Drove 439 miles to the Petro truck stop in Portage, Wisconsin.  Will be here until Monday morning.  Now it's time for Gator football!!!!

 I left a half hour after sunrise this morning.  Heavy traffic and some B2B traffic in Atlanta.  Another busy morning at the Atlanta airport.  Had 2 planes land over my head, then drove under one that was on the taxiway that goes over the Interstate.  That is so cool when that happens.  No problems in Nashville.  Drove 535 miles to the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, for the night.  To top off a good day, I stuffed myself silly at the Chili's restaurant across the street from the truck stop tonight.  I'll sleep good tonight!!!

 This morning I went to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia  and loaded a Caterpillar 320 Excavator that is going to Weston, Wisconsin.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Jackson, Georgia, for the night.  I stopped a bit early because there was a several-mile traffic backup in McDonough, GA that I didn't want to deal with today.

 The crane was due to arrive at the job site at 9 AM.  When I got there at 8:30, I had to back in off the road.  

Then the other truck arrived with the generator that will eventually sit on top of the tank I brought.  I moved out of his way so he could park where I was.  I parallel parked off to the side.  Then the crane arrived.  I again moved out of its way so he and the support truck could get in.  I jacked my truck into a small area just big enough to squeeze into.

Once the crane was set up, I backed in next to the crane, and they unloaded me.

From there, I drove to the Daily terminal in Jacksonville.  Settled in for the rest of the day, watching some great SEC football.

I drove the rest of the way to Macon, Georgia, and delivered the excavator.  From there, I drove up to Griffin, GA, and loaded a generator fuel tank that is going to Gainesville, Florida.

I left there and drove to the Pilot truck stop in Tifton, Georgia, for the night.
