Left at sunrise this morning and drove in to Austel, GA.  The place I delivered was across from Six Flags Atlanta.  Delivered the compactor.  Then went down to the TA truck stop in Jackson, GA.  Look who was here.

I don't give a hoot about wrestling, but for those of you that do, there ya go.

It's a good thing that I washed my truck yesterday.  Haven't seen rain for over two weeks, but today I drove 600 miles in the rain!!  Heavy at times.  Took forever to get through Nashville.  Got there right at rush hour and in the rain.  There were little wrecks all over the place.  Bumper to bumper from north of Nashville all the way through to the south side.  Stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Jasper, Kentucky.

Delivered the excavator first thing this morning.  Then drove down to Morris, Illinois for my next load.  Loaded a Caterpillar 815F compactor at Richie Brothers that is going to Austell, Georgia.  Here is a video of me loading the machine.

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Bloomington, Illinois for the night.

Got started this morning.  Took a few photos of sunrise and the start of fall colors in northern Tennessee, north of Knoxville.

Coming into Cincinnati, Ohio on I-75.

Finally got another load this morning.  Drove over to Athens, Georgia and loaded two Caterpillar 305E Mini Excavators.  The first one gets dropped off in Knoxville, Tennessee.  The other one goes to Novi, Michigan.

Left there and got back to Atlanta right at rush hour.  You know what that means...  Yup, and there was plenty of it too.  Finally got through it all and made it up to the TA truck stop on the west side of Knoxville for the night.

No load yet.  Got my 90 day inspection done and out of the way.  Had a leaking air valve replaced.  Other than that, pretty dull day.
