Left at sunrise this morning.  Nice day on the road.  Georgia routed me all over the place.  But this time I know why.  They are doing a lot of construction on the Atlanta beltway and traffic is a disaster - worse than normal.  Last time I went through there they had the area of I-20 and I-285 all messed up.  4 lanes down to 2.  In Atlanta, that is a disaster even on the weekends.

Passed the Regions Bank bicycle today.  Actually, it passed me.  Have you seen it on the TV commercials?

Stopped at the TA truck stop in Madison, Georgia.  I don't deliver until Wednesday morning so I'll stay here probably until Tuesday. Plus, I don't have a South Carolina permit yet.

Went in to Bossier City, LA this morning and loaded a communications building that is going over to Charleston, South Carolina.

Left there and started driving.  Here is a video of an idiot woman in a Prius (of course!!).  This happens a lot.  She passes me, cuts in front if me even though there is plenty of open road in front of her.   Then she slows down!!  Now I have to go around her!!  I would love to know what these idiots are thinking!!  

I stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Meridian, Mississippi.

Well, I finally got another load.  Unfortunately it is all the way over in Bossier City, Louisiana.  So I hit the road and drove over there.  Stopped for the night at the LA Welcome Center on I-20.

Went back to Kenworth and waited for the part to arrive.  It finally got there and they installed it.  Again, it took all day!!  They had a washer and drier (both free) there so I did three loads of laundry while I waited.

Still don't have another load yet so I went back to the Love's Truck Stop to wait some more.

Drove to Odessa this morning and delivered the excavator.  In the process, ripped a mud flap off.  Then my fifth wheel broke so I had to go over to Kenworth to get all that fixed.

They didn't start on my truck until 4 pm local time.  Fortunately they are open till midnight. 

They were able to fix the mud flap but had to order the part for the fifth wheel. Won't be here until Wednesday.  So I got my truck back and went to the Love's truck stop to wait till Wednesday.
