Finally got the truck and trailer washed!!  I was 8th in line but I didn't care.  Cleaned the inside too.  Then fixed a mud flap.  Looks good when it's clean.

Went first thing this morning to deliver.  The address we had on our paperwork was wrong.  Finally got the correct one and went there.  They unloaded the machine using two fork lifts.  One on each side, lifted it up, and I drove out from under it.  Don't have another load yet so I went back to the TA truck stop in Laredo. Had three lights quit working so I fixed those.  I'll be here all weekend.

Got started just before sunrise this morning.  Pushed it very hard all day today.  Stopped only once for the required 30 minute break.  Drove 666 (gosh, I hope that is not a bad sign) miles to the TA truck stop in Laredo, Texas.  I'm exhausted!!  Gonna shower, eat and drop in bed!!

Left this morning after the St. Louis curfew was over at 9 am.  Drove all day and stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Eufaula, Oklahoma.

My load this morning was over in Oswego, Illinois at the Caterpillar plant.  They build the larger wheel loaders there.  They have a test track next to where we load.  It is kinda funny to see these big wheel loaders racing around the oval track. This morning I loaded a Caterpillar 815F Compactor that is going to Laredo, Texas.

Left there and drove down to the Flying J truck stop in Alorton (East St. Louis), Illinois.  Couldn't beat the St. Lewis curfew so I had to stop early.  Did a load of laundry and a long hot shower!  Can sleep in tomorrow morning because I can't go into St. Louis until after 9 am local time.

Went over to Davenport and delivered the excavator first thing.  Then back over to the Daily yard in Bettendorf to get some things fixed on the trailer.  Had a few lights out.  They had to re-wire a lot of the trailer due to corrosion.  Took all day!!  Finished at 9:30.  Tired and going to bed!!
