Very early this morning I drove in to Prairieville, LA and delivered the wheel loader.  Then went back to Hammond, LA and loaded another Caterpillar 930K wheel loader that is going to Simpsonville, SC.

Got on the road in good time.  

BOY, the crazies were out today!!  In the video below you will see two that happened only two minutes apart.  The first one is pretty obvious.   In the second one watch the little blue car that passes me.  It is easier to see if you blow it up to full screen.

And here is another short one.

Stopped for the night at at truck stop in Fairburn, GA.

Got on the road real early this morning.  Left Florence, SC and pushed it hard all day.  Stopped for the night, 732 miles later, at the TA truck stop in Slidel, LA. Deliver tomorrow morning about 100 miles from here.  While I was eating dinner, saw one of the Monday Night Football production trucks pull into the truck stop for fuel.  Must be playing in the Superdome Monday.  The photo below was pulled from the internet but that is the truck I saw.

Was at the unloading location at 7 am, as requested.  Unfortunately the crane didn't get there until 10:30.  Then backed into the unloading area and waited for the crane to get set up.  That takes a while!

Then it was finally my turn.

After that was off I went over to Clayton, NC and loaded a Caterpillar 930K wheel loader that is going to Prairieville, LA.

Left there and drove to the Petro truck stop in Florence, SC for the night.

Got started a half hour after sunrise this morning.  Very nice, uneventful day on the road.   Drove up to a small truck stop in Greenville, NC.  Deliver in the morning a few miles from here.

Drove to Thomasville, GA this morning to load.  They weren't ready.  At 11:30 they finally were ready to load.  Loaded a boiler that is going to Greenville, NC.

Didn't get very far today.  Stopped for the night at a truck stop in Waycross, GA.

My truck is all fixed now and I'm back on the road after a few great days off.  Drove a short hop over to the TA truck stop in Lake Park, Georgia.  I load tomorrow morning in Thomasville, GA.
