Got on the road real early this morning.  I stopped to have breakfast and while parking I did real good!!  Clipped a cement post that I didn't see.  Bent my bumper a bit. Pretty, isn't it??

So after I finished breakfast I stopped at Peterbilt in Nashville, TN and got a new bumper.  Then drove down to the TA truck stop in Cartersville, GA for the night so I can watch football!!

Got on the road real early and drove down to Roanoke, Illinois and loaded two Caterpillar tracks that are going to Alachua, Florida.

Got on the road but didn't get very far.  I had stayed up late last night watching the RNC Convention so I got very little sleep.  Since these things don't deliver until Tuesday (because Monday is a holiday) I stopped early at the Petro truck stop in Effingham, Illinois.  I ate, showered, and went to bed very early.

Finally got a load.  It was back in Camp Ripley, MN.  Drove over there.  When I got there found out that the military had ordered one too many trucks.  Guess what?  Yup, I was the one too many.  Got another load for tomorrow.  BUT it is way down in Roanoke, Illinois.  So I took off that way.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Portage, Wisconsin.

Took my tarps to the tarp shop here in Fargo to be repaired.  They were a mess.  I have used them before, they do a terrific job.   They should be ready tomorrow afternoon.  Then went to Thermo King and had the belt tightened on my APU.  Then back to the truck stop.  At 4 pm they called and said my tarps were finished so I went over and got them.  Then back to the truck stop.  No load yet.

Left Council Bluffs, IA at sun up.  The stupid state routed me the long way to Park Rapids, MN.  They sent me east to Des Moines, then north to Minneapolis, then back west and up to Park Rapids. Really dumb!!  BUT I made it and delivered this afternoon.  After that drove over to Fargo, ND to the Petro truck stop for the night.

Went over to Aurora, CO this morning and loaded a Caterpillar RM350.  It is going to Park Rapids, MN.

After loading and chaining, went to scale up.  I'm over 100,000 pounds.  Got on the road and drove all the way to Council Bluffs, Iowa to the TA truck stop for the night.
