Loaded a John Deere 180 GL Excavator this morning.

Made good time.  Was first in and out today.  This machine is going to the port in Miami, FL.  Got on the road and drove straight home to Jacksonville, FL.  Have a TON of stuff to do tomorrow!!    Very nice day on the road.  Decided to give you a little video again.  Here are few of  the stupid people that changed lanes in front of me a little too close today.  This is a normal, everyday occurrence.  But when there is a crash, its always the evil truck driver that is at fault.

Finally got everything done in Carlisle, PA.  There was a lot to do.  This morning was ready for a load, but none available.  So I waited.  At about noon I got one.  Loads down in Kernersville, NC tomorrow morning.  Got on the road and drove down that way.  On I-81 in Virginia just south of I-64 it started to snow. 

Rapidly it got worse...    Like the view from the cab?

...and worse...

...and worse, as it started to stick to the road...

And started to cover the road....

Only saw two plows/sanders so far, but they were on the other side.  Big difference from further north where they know how to keep roads open in snow like this.

Finally a plow.

After I turned south on I-77 it changed over to rain  Drove for a little over 100 miles in that stuff.  

Stopped for the night at the John Deere Plant in Kernersville, NC where I load in the morning. Yes, it's still raining.

Drove in to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, MD and delivered the axle.  After that drove up to the "home office" in Carlisle, PA.  Will be here for a couple days getting some stuff done.

When I was at the truck show last week I entered a drawing for a CB radio while visiting the TA / Petro Truck Stop pavilion   I was totally floored when I put my TA card in the kiosk and found out that I had won it!!  Picked it up last night.
