Wednesday, April 24, 2013

Yesterday I did not have internet where I stopped for the night so I couldn't update.  So here is what I did....

Went in to Batronville, IL and loaded a Caterpillar 350 Genset that was going to Elkridge, MD.



I was in and out of there in great time!  Got on the road quickly.  Went over a bridge that crosses the Illinois River.  There is a lock and dam there.  It was gone!!  Totally under water!!  Never saw a lock and dam totally submerged before.  That was really cool to see.  The flooding up here is really bad.  Glad it has not flooded any of the roads that I travel.  Stopped for the night at a truck stop in Grantsville, MD.  That is the western end of Maryland in the panhandle.

This morning got on the road real early and drove it to Elkridge, MD (just south of Baltimore) and delivered the genset.  No next load yet so I went to the TA truck stop in Jessup, MD to wait.

Next load is in the morning at the Port of Baltimore, but there is a catch.  Went over to the Daily yard in Baltimore and swapped trailers.  While I'm delivering this load someone here is going to take my trailer over to the port and load my load for after this one.  He will leave it at the Daily yard.  After I deliver I'll go back to Baltimore and swap trailers again getting my trailer back.  Then I'll take the next load.  I spent the night in the Daily yard in Baltimore.
