Hit the road VERY early this morning.  Had a bit of bumper to bumper going around Baltimore, MD.  Unbelievably didn't have much trouble going around DC or that nightmare of I-95 between DC and Richmond, VA.  Drove to Kenly, NC to the Petro truck stop for the night.  While there I replaced a couple lights that were out.  And now its bed time.  Going to get started real early again tomorrow so I can be home by tomorrow afternoon.  Will deliver in Orlando Monday.

Was up and on the road at 3:30 this morning. Drove to the "home office" Daily yard in Carlisle, PA and changed to a step deck trailer.  That took 2 hours.  Then drove back up to Wilkes-Barre (spelled correctly this time), PA and loaded a Caterpillar CS56B Roller.  

Then drove another 2 1/2 hours north into the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania to a town called Mansfield.  Mostly a two lane road full of big hills and curves.  Most of it was only 45 mph.  Then there was a zillion small towns to go through at 25 mph.  Each one had a stop light and, of course, I got most of them red.  Finally got there and loaded an air compressor and four light plants.  It was a very tight squeeze, but finally got it all on and secured.  Finished right at sunset and, for a change, just before the rain.

Another night where having a shower and kitchen in the truck pays off.  I love this truck!! By the time I finished I was out of hours , not to mention being exhausted.  Spent the night right there in their parking lot.  Then it's off to Orlando, Florida where all these things are going.

Left real early this morning and drove to South Fields, New York and delivered the truck.  My next load starts in Wilkes Barre, PA but first have to go to the home office in Carlisle and switch trailers.  Had to stop for the night at the Petro in Scranton, PA because I ran out of hours.  Will get an early start in the morning again.

This morning got up real early and went in to Waukesha and delivered the pipe.  Next load was waiting for me at the Daily yard in Lannon, WI. (the Milwaukee office). It is an AM General 6x6 semi truck that is going over to Southfields, New York.

Left there and drove the back roads in Indiana and Ohio to avoid the toll road.  Stopped for the night at a small truck stop on US-20 in Monroeville, Ohio.
