Left Harrisonburg, Virginia as soon as my 10 hours off was up.  Drove almost non-stop to the Daily yard in Jacksonville, Florida,  724 miles.  Had two tires changed on the trailer.  Went to Wal-Mart, and had dinner.  I'm pooped!!

Was at Shippensburg PA this morning before they opened.  When they got there, loaded a small Volvo DD25 Asphalt Compactor.

After that drove over to Frenchtown, New Jersey and picked up another one.  They are both going to Davie, Florida.

Drove in heavy traffic all day.  But stopped for the night at a truck stop in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Left the rest area at sunrise this morning and drove in to the Port of Baltimore.  Here is sunrise as I was coming down into Cumberland, MD covered in fog.

Of course, I got there five minutes after they went to lunch.  They go to lunch from 11:30 till 1 pm.  UNIONS!!!!!  

Finally got empty and went to leave.  Couldn't, had a broken air line between the truck and trailer.  Was able to rig up a temporary line to get me out of there and over to the TA truck stop to get a replacement.  Got the replacement and moved the fittings over to the new one and put it on.  Works just fine.  

Next load is in Shippensburg, PA.  Drove to the TA truck stop in Greencastle, PA for the night.

Left Bloomington, Illinois just before sunrise this morning.  Nice easy day on the road.  Nothing exciting at all.  Stopped for the night at the West Virginia Welcome Center on I-79 just south of the Pennsylvania line.

Yesterday spent the day installing a rear load light on the truck.  (I didn't do it, a very good mechanic did)  It took all day but it was worth it.  It was done right and looks great.  It is a bit hard to see because the sun was going down when I took the picture.

This morning went and delivered the excavator first thing.  Next load is in Waterloo, Iowa.  Drove up there to the John Deere plant and loaded a John Deere 9510T Tractor that is going to the port in Baltimore.

Left there and drove to Iowa 80 truck stop for lunch and a shower.  Then back on the road.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Bloomington, Illinois.
