Left Lodi, OH just before sunrise. Pushed it pretty hard today to try to make up a bit of time that I lost yesterday.  Still didn't get as far as I had hoped to.  

Just north of Janesville, Wisconsin I passed a pick up truck that rolled over on the other side of the Interstate.  

Kind of difficult to see in that photo so I zoomed in for you.

Decided to put a couple videos of people cutting me off today.  This happens every single day.

Here is another one.

Stopped for the rest of the weekend at the TA truck stop in DeForest, Wisconsin.

This morning went down the road a few miles and loaded a Link-Belt LBX 235 Excavator that is going to Minneapolis, Minnesota.  I am 103,320 pounds with this one.

Left there and headed west.  Took forever to get out of Pennsylvania going across the mountains.  Lots of up and down.  Seemed like more up than down!!  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Lodi, Ohio.

Left Wheeling very early this morning and drove in the the Port of Baltimore and delivered the screen machine.  My next load is tomorrow morning up in Carlisle, PA.  Drove up to the "home office" for the night.

They got started first thing this morning repairing all the things that I needed them to do.  They replaced my TV antenna (it quit working and was still under warranty), did routine maintenance on my generator, calked around one of the windows and a bunch of things on the roof to stop the water leak, fixed a bunch of little things relating to the sleeper.  They also replaced both air bags that support the back of the sleeper.  

Here are the old dry rotted air bags.

And here is one of the new ones.

They finished before noon and I was back on the road.  Drove to the TA truck stop in Wheeling, West Virginia for the night.  Thunderstorms are on the way so I'll see if all the calking worked.

Drove over to ARI in Shipshewana, IN this morning.  They are very busy here.  Hopefully they can get my truck finished tomorrow.

Morning finally arrived and I made the hour and a half trip up to Unionville to deliver the hub. Got there at 7 am.  Didn't get out of there until noon.  After that I drove down to Durrand, Michigan for my next load.  Loaded a Terex Screen Machine that is going to the Port of Baltimore in Maryland.

Making a slight detour on the way and will be stopping at ARI in Shipshawana, IN so I can have some things fixed on the truck's sleeper.  Made my way down to the Petro truck stop in Angola, IN for the night.
