Went back to load again at 8:30 am.  They were working on my machine.  This is what it looked like.


They finally finished and then they shrink wrapped it.


After that was done it was finally time to load it on my trailer.



After that the tarps had to go on top.  Then pull it outside to finish securing everything.  Finally got everything done.



My escorts were there all day waiting with me.


Pulled out of there at 2:30 pm.  This is the route we have to take.


Had two escorts in Ohio.  Only one (the grey pick up truck) for the rest of the trip.  In Pennsylvania we had to take back roads off the interstate.  The first half of that semi circle south from I-80 and back up to I-80 was not too bad.  From Butler back up to I-80 was really something!!  Narrow, winding, two lane roads that go up and down A LOT and through the middle of small towns.  This load is 14 feet, 8 inches wide and my gross weight is about 100,000 pounds.  Was a lot of fun!!  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Milesburg, PA.  That is at I-80, exit 158, for those of you keeping score.
