Nothing today.  BUT I do have another load.  It is Tuesday so I'll be here all weekend.

After the crane arrived this morning they unloaded me.

Since I didn't have another load yet I drove down to the "Home Office" in Carlisle, PA to wait it out.

Left at 4 am this morning.  It rained most of the way.  Drove to the job site where I am delivering tomorrow. They had cleared off space for all the trucks coming in with the rest of this crane.  I got there at 10:30 this morning.  Much to my surprise, I was the first one there.  That means I'll probably be the last unloaded tomorrow.  We shall see.

They were real fast unloading me this morning.  Then I left for my next load.  It was up in Harrison, Ohio.  Got there in pretty good time.  Here is where I loaded.  This is the lower part.  There is another section of this place. 

And this is what I loaded.

This stuff is going to Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.  Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Lodi, Ohio for the night.

Went the rest of the way into Manchester, TN to load.  Arrived at 6 am local time.  It was not ready yet.  Sat there till 9:30 local time and found out that the crane broke.  They had to move the tank from one building to another that had a gantry crane that worked so they could lift it up high enough to put on my trailer. Finally got loaded.  Doesn't look it from the photos, but I am 14 feet 6 inches wide.  That's about a lane and a quarter wide.

Had two escort cars.  One in front is the white van on the left.  One in the back was the white van on the right. The middle one was for the other truck.  He is taking the other half of this tank.

Left there and had a pretty good day on the road.  No problems going around Nashville. Then when we got south of Louisville they had two of the three lanes blocked for construction.  It took an hour and a half to go eight miles.  Finally made it past that mess.  Had to stop for about an hour and wait for the Louisville curfew to get over.  At 6 pm we were back on the road.  Drove into the job site in Jeffersonville, Indiana.  Will be here for the night.  Unload here first thing in the morning.
