I got up at 4 am CDT and went over and got the truck washed.  During the day the line is usually 6 trucks long.  That's why I get up early and go, no line.  Then went over to Walmart and restocked with food.  I like to go there early in the morning because it is easier to get a big truck in and out before the parking lot fills up. Then to Shipley's Donuts, of course. Now I can sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Got on the road at 1:30 am CDT and drove for a while.  Had to stop and take a nap on the way.  Then finished the trip on into the Daily terminal in Houston, TX and dropped the trailer. I stopped on the scale and weighed just out of curiosity.  I was 74,000 pounds (33,565 kg).   Since I didn't have another load yet, I left my trailer there and drove to the TA truck stop in Baytown.  Checked in the the shop at 1 pm CDT to have a few things done.  I didn't get out of there until 7:30 pm CDT.  I had the oil and all the filters changed, chassis greased, wipers changed, tires checked, coolant checked, and a 3 axle alignment done.  It has been a very long day!!  Gonna eat something and go to bed. Night Y'all!!!

Went the rest of the way up to Denver City, TX and swapped out trailers with the other truck.

I'm bringing it back to the Houston terminal.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Big Spring, TX.  I'll get an early start in the morning.

After getting my Shipley's donuts I went to the Daily yard in Houston and dropped my trailer.  Picked up a 4 axle stretch flat bed, with a flip neck, trailer that had a jeep on top.  Taking it out to Denver City, Texas to a power plant.  Another driver is dropping his trailer and using this one for his load there.  I'm bringing his trailer back to the Houston terminal.  

Left there and drove out to Big Spring, Texas and stopped for the night at the TA truck stop.

Left this morning just before sunrise and drove the rest of the way in to Cypress, TX and delivered the D6.   Tomorrow I will be dropping my trailer at the Houston terminal and taking a different trailer someplace and swapping it out with another truck.  Then I'll bring the other trailer back to the Houston terminal,  I'll get the details in the morning after I go to Shipley's donuts, of course.

Went a couple miles down the road this morning and delivered the wheel loader.  Then drove down to Kermit, TX and loaded a Caterpillar D6 Track Rig (I have no idea what it does) that is going over to Cypress, TX.  That is just north west of Houston.

After loading that drove to San Antonio.  Had to wait a half hour for the curfew to get over before I could continue.  Made it around San Antonio and stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Seguin, Texas. Drove 573 miles plus unloading and reloading.  Not too shabby!!
