This morning loaded a John Deere 9560 Tractor that is going to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, MD.  From there it is going on a boat to Brisbane.   These things are SO much FUN to drive!!!!!  Looking forward to unloading!!

Got on the road pretty quick this morning. They really do a good job getting everyone loaded there.  Wish they were all like that.  

The water is still very high up here.  At least you can see some of the lock and dam.  

Stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Richmond, Indiana.  Tomorrow will be a short day.  Because of the holiday, permit loads have to stop before noon and can't start moving again until 9 am Tuesday morning.  More STUPID regulations!!!

Left Oak Grove, KY at sun up this morning.  Drove in to Davenport, Iowa and delivered the excavator.  Then went to the Daily yard in Bettendorf, IA and had new mud flaps put on the trailer.  After that drove up to the John Deere plant in Waterloo, Iowa.  I load there in the morning.  I am already number 13 in line for the morning.  On the way up here passed the Quaker Oats factory in Cedar Rapids.  Oatmeal anyone?

Went a few miles down the road in Greensboro, NC and delivered the little excavator.  Then went over to the John Deere plant in Kernersville, NC and loaded a John Deere 290G excavator.  It is going to Davenport, Iowa.

Left there and drove the rest of the day.  Stopped at the Pilot truck stop in Oak Grove, Kentucky.  That is just over the Tennessee line in KY.   There are a lot of black clouds heading this way.

Radar looks good.

And the generator is acting up again!!  Just great!!

Nights like this I really love being able to shower and cook in the truck.  That is so great!!!!!

It took all day but I finally got out of there.  I have air conditioning now.  Went up to the TA truck stop in Greensboro for the night.  Deliver a couple miles from here tomorrow morning.
