Had some work done on the truck today.  New front breaks and drums.  All were bad and needed replacing.  The trailer will be getting work done on it tomorrow. Did a bunch more running around!  I need to go back to work to slow down!!

Got on the road at sun up and drove in to the Port of Jacksonville and delivered the grader. BOY, those things are fun to drive!!  After that went to the Daily yard. Will be home for the weekend.  Took the truck over to Peterbilt and got an estimate on the damage from when that guy backed into me.  Will have it fixed when I'm home for Christmas break.  This morning my printer in the truck took a dump so I had to replace it.  Did a bunch more running around this afternoon.  Too much stuff to do when I am home!!

Got on the road at sun up and drove, stopping once to pee and once for fuel.  Ran out of daylight at Lake Park, Georgia.  Stopped at the TA truck stop on I-75 at exit 2.  Will deliver tomorrow morning and then be home for the weekend.

Loaded a Caterpillar 14M road grader this morning.  It is going to the Port in Blount Island, Jacksonville, Florida.  From there it is going on a boat to the United Arab Emirates.

Got on the road and quickly drove into a lot of rain.  Glad it waited until after I loaded, for a change.  It's a good thing I washed my truck last night, otherwise they never would have gotten this rain!  Drove to the Petro truck stop in West Memphis, Arkansas where I had to wait for my pole car to arrive.  Because I am 14'2" tall (13'6" is max legal height) I have to have a pole car east of the Mississippi River.  Three hours later the pole car arrived.

Got on the road and drove to the Pilot truck stop in New Albany, Mississippi to stop for the night because we ran out of daylight.

Delivered the excavator first thing this morning.  My next load is way up in North Little Rock, Arkansas.  Drove up there to the Petro truck stop for the night.  Load tomorrow morning.
