The weather timed it perfectly!! As I was waiting for the Port to open this morning the freezing rain and sleet started. Once I got in and starting to load the trailer was covered in wet ice. Loaded another Caterpillar 324EL Excavator that is also going to Murrysville, PA. Nothing like loading a large excavator in the freezing rain on a wet ice covered trailer. Gross weight is just under 102,000 pounds.
By the time I finished the temperature had risen enough for it to be just rain. Of course I was soaked through to the skin. Drove over to Murrysville, PA and delivered it. Of course it rained all the way and was still raining when I unloaded. Next load is back in Baltimore again. It is going to be an interesting one. Probably won't load until Tuesday. The only hint I'll give is that I have my West Virginia permit already and it says that I have to have three escorts.
