Tuesday, July 30, 2013

Was all set to load this morning and then I found a broken brake chamber on the rear of my truck.  I went over to the TA truck stop in Baltimore and got in right away.  They replaced the broken chamber.


 Went back and loaded a John Deere 470G Excavator.  Its a biggie!  It is going out to Park City, Kansas.



I am a bit heavy.  Right about the upper limits of what this truck, with this trailer, can haul.


It took forever to get across I-70 and I-68 through Maryland and West Virginia.  Had to stop along the side of the road at the top of most of the large mountains along those two stretches of road.  My drive axes would get a little too hot.  Had to let them cool down before tackling the next tone.  Made it all the way to the TA truck stop in Wheeling, West Virginia where I stopped for the night.  It took 5 1/2 hours to go 310 miles and $400 in fuel.
