Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Another nice day on the road.  Stopped and got the truck washed.  Then continued on down to the TA truck stop in Big Spring, Texas.  Then did some serious cleaning.  Cleaned and vacuumed the cab and bunk area. Scrubbed the floor, the walls, the air conditioner, and the windows.  Did some minor repairs outside too.  After that was all done, took a shower and settled in for a nice weekend of football.  I love football season!!!!!

Hit the road right at sunrise this morning.  Pushed it hard today.  Was a great day to be on the road!!  Perfect weather and very little traffic problems.  In Tennessee passed another fatal crash.  A Ford mini van left the road and into the wide median and slammed into a tree head on.  It burst into flames.  The commotion was pretty much over with when I went by but the Highway Patrol homicide team was hard at work.  Arkansas detoured me all over the place.  But in spite of all that still made it 676 miles and stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Rockwall, Texas.  That is about 35 miles east of Dallas.

This morning drove to Randleman, NC and delivered the engine.  Then on up to Kernersville, NC and loaded a Hitachi Z250G Excavator that is going to Odessa, Texas.  I am at 103,000 pounds.

Left there and headed west.  It was overcast all day so the autumn colors didn't "pop" out.  But I still took some photos for you of I-40 in North Carolina west of Asheville.

Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Kingston Springs, TN.  That is west of Nashville.

This morning to Newberry and loaded a Caterpillar C-9 Engine that is going to Randleman, NC. 

 After that drove down to Summerville, SC and delivered the mini excavator.  After that drove to Florence, SC to the Petro and ate dinner and got a shower.  Had the best steak dinner I have ever had at a TA/Petro truck stop.  Wish they all did this.

Then drove to the Wilco/Hess truck stop in Candor, NC for the night.

This morning went over to Griffin, GA and loaded a Caterpillar 3516 Genset and took it 12 miles to the other side of Griffin to a dealer and unloaded there.

After I dropped that one off went back and did another one.

After that was done I went back to the TA truck stop in Jackson, took a shower, did some laundry, and settled in for some Monday Night Football.
