Drove up to Birmingham, AL this morning.  Unloaded part of my load.  Had a weird squeek from under the hood so I went to the Peterbilt shop just down the road & had that fixed.  Worn out fan belt and a bad idler pulley.  After that was fixed I drove to Atlanta for the night.

Delivered the steel Tuesday morning then went down to Stafford, TX, which is just south of Houston, and picked up my next load.

Taking a load of granite Slabs (used to make granite counter tops) to Awendaw, South Carolina with a stop in Birmingham, Alabama to drop off some first.  These things are really heavy!!  It took over 6 hours to load so I didn't get very far.  Stopped for the night in Baytown, Texas.
