Left Paducah, KY just before sunrise this morning.  Stopped for fuel in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.  While I was pumping the fuel I looked at my tires and saw a large screw in one of them.  Had that repaired and was back on the road two hours and fifteen minutes later.  Stopped for the rest of the weekend at the Daily yard in Bettendorf, Iowa.  Now I can relax and watch football!!!  Going to have some more work done on the truck tomorrow while I'm here.

First thing this morning loaded a Hitachi Z250G Excavator that is going to Davenport, Iowa.

Got on the road in good time and drove all the way up to a truck stop in Paducah, Kentucky for the night.  596 miles today.  Not too shabby!!

Left this morning and drove in to the Port of Baltimore and delivered the wheel loader.  Next load is in Kernersville, NC.  Drove down there to the John Deere - Hitachi plant for the night.  Was in heavy traffic all day.  Lots of bumper to bumper too.

This morning left just before sunrise and drove into Chicago.  Of course I was in bumper to bumper traffic the whole way in.  Took over an hour to travel 26 miles.  Nothing like going through city streets with a wide load during rush hour!!  Once the crane arrived I got unloaded.

Next load was in Oswego, IL.  Went over there to Caterpillar.  They make the larger wheel loaders there.  I loaded one of the smaller ones that they build there.  Loaded a 972M wheel loader that is going to Dundalk, MD.

Left there and got on the road.  Somebody made a boo boo...

Stopped for the night at a truck stop in New Lisbon, Indiana.

Last night my generator quit working.  It was a miserable night without it.  Very little sleep and a huge headache.  First thing this morning I went to a Cummins-Onan shop and had it fixed.  After that went to a truck stop a few miles from there.
