Stopped by Peterbilt this afternoon and checked on my truck. They have it all torn apart   I am surprised by how much they have done!!  They took off the damaged portions of the side of the truck, which I expected of course.  But what I didn't expect is that they took out the driver's seat and the inside cabinet.  They have all my stuff piled up on the floor outside the truck.

Took the truck to Peterbilt to have the repairs done to the side where that other truck backed into me.

The Georgia permit didn't get here until after 1 pm.  I finally got on the road.  On I-75 just before the Atlanta Bypass ( I-285) there was a huge crash.  They had the entire interstate shut down.  I heard about it on the CB radio.    I jumped off the interstate north of the traffic stoppage and took US-41 south.  That road paralleled the interstate.  I was not the only one with that idea, the road was jammed!! When I got down close to where the crash was I heard that they had three lanes open.  I got back on I-75 and continued on.  By the time I passed the crash most of it was cleared up.  The only thing left was the overhead road sign that was being loaded on a roll back wrecker.


Because of the delay in getting the Georgia permit and then the long delay in bumper to bumper traffic from the crash, I was unable to deliver today.  Stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Hogansville, Georgia.  I'm about 10 miles from delivery.

All that rain that I drove through yesterday caught up with me today.  Started to rain just after breakfast and has rained all day.
