Half day today!  Got started at sun rise this morning and drove across Pennsylvania to the Pilot truck stop in Portersville, PA for the rest of the weekend.  Deliver Monday morning about a half hour from here.

Slept in this morning then got the truck washed.  It looks so good when it's clean!!  At about 11:30 was told that my load was ready at the port in Newark, NJ.  Drove up there and loaded a Unidachs 400L.  It is going to Cranberry Township, PA.  That is over near Pittsburgh. 

Hit a lot of bumper to bumper traffic getting out of there.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Columbia, NJ at the Delaware Water Gap.

Got up early and drove in to the port in Glouster City, NJ.  Unfortunately I didn't leave early enough because I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic going through Philadelphia.  Even so, I got in and delivered the boxes and then over to the TA truck stop in Paulsboro, NJ before noon.  Ate, took a shower, and got in bed.  My back is still very sore.  Slept all afternoon and it felt great!!  Really helped a lot.

There is a pizza place across the street from here.  If you know me, you know that I could eat pizza 7 days a week.  So you know where I ate dinner tonight!!  It was good too.

My next load is supposed to be an excavator up in Newark but, as of 4:30,  it is still not ready yet.

Got up early this morning and drove up to Olean, NY for my next load.  Loaded two boxes of machine parts that are going down to Gloucester City, NJ.  That is just outside of Philadelphia.  Of course they had to be tarped.

I drove down to the TA truck stop in Bloomsburg, PA and stopped a little early for the night. Didn't get much sleep last night and my back really hurts.  Need to rest.

First thing this morning had the fuel leak fixed and while they were in there had the oil changed too.  Then went to the "Home Office" of Daily Express in Carlisle, PA and had my 90 day inspection done on the truck and trailer.  Also had the bad tire changed.  Found an air leak in an air line behind the engine.  

Went to Kenworth and had that fixed.  Also tried to find the electrical problem with the windshield washer.  Still couldn't find it.  Got out of Kenworth at 11:30 pm and went back to the Daily Express yard in Carlisle for the night.

Left New Paris, Ohio just before sun up this morning and drove straight through to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and delivered the track loader.  

My generator has had a fuel leak all weekend so after delivering I went across the street to the Cummins dealer to get it fixed in the morning.  Was able to park in their parking lot and plug in to electricity for the night.
