Didn't get a load until the afternoon.  Went over to Staten Island, NY to pick up a shipping container.  Unfortunately didn't get there before they closed for the weekend. So that was a waste of time.  Then got another load.  This place was open all night so I went up to Wallingford, CT and picked up a load of steel going to Gansevoort, NY, that's up north of Albany, NY.




On the way up to Connecticut went over the George Washington bridge again.



Stopped for the weekend in Wilton, NY.  Not too far from where I deliver Monday morning.

Started real early today.  Was on the road at 3:30 this morning.  Drove most of the day in rain.  Hit D.C. perfectly at rush hour.  Took 2 hours to get through it.  Finally got up to Perth Amboy this afternoon and delivered the wire.  Spending the night at the Woodbridge, NJ rest area on the NJ Turnpike, and its still raining.

I was walking back to my truck this evening when I passed a truck that caught my eye. The name of this company was plastered all over the side of the trailer.  I could not get a good photo of that because he was parked too close to other trucks.  All I could get a good photo of was the mud flap with the company name on it. I don't think I'd like to work there. Probably a crappy place to work.

After getting caught up on my sleep I drove up to Georgetown, SC for my next load.  Picked up 46,155 pounds of wire going up to Perth Amboy, NJ.







Didn't get too far today.  Stopped for the night at the Petro in Kenly, North Carolina for the night.

Delivered the PVC Pipe this morning in Bellevile, MI.  Then drove over to Napoleon, MI for my next load.  On the way went right past the Michigan International Speedway.



This is a very light load. It is a bus shelter going to Charleston, SC.




The foliage in Michigan was better than in New York. The colors were a lot brighter.  Tried to get a few photos of them.  Again, the photos don't do it justice, but you get the idea.




While on the road I went through Canton, Ohio.  The home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This time I got a better photo of it.




Stopped for the night in Jonesville, North Carolina after driving 700 miles exactly. Oh, by the way, the new camera that looks at the load works great!!
