This morning I still didn't have another load but I wasn't staying at that Pilot truck stop any longer.  If you didn't know already, I hate Pilot truck stops!! So I left and drove to the TA truck stop in Bloomington, Illinois.  That gets me closer to potential loads.  By the end of the day I still didn't have anything worth a flip so I'm here for the weekend.

Left just before sunrise this morning and drove in to Indianapolis and delivered the excavator. Went from there over to the Pilot truck stop just east of Indy to have lunch and wait for my next load.  They had a possible load in Indy.  When that fell through I just stayed there for the night.

Went to the Port of Baltimore first thing this morning and loaded a Caterpillar 323 Excavator. It is going to Indianapolis, Indiana.  Not as heavy as I thought it would be.  I'm only 102,000 pounds.

Left there and drove the ups and downs of I-70 and I-68 in Maryland and West Virginia.  That always takes forever!!  Started raining in western Maryland and continued pretty much for the rest of the day.  Stopped for the night at the north bound rest area on I-77 at mile marker 39 in Ohio.

Went back to the tire shop this morning and got my two front tires.  Truck rides and drives a whole lot better!!  Then went back to the Daily yard to get my trailer.  When I hooked back up to it and was checking it out I found another flat tire!!!!!  So I unhooked and waited for it to get fixed.  Took all day for them to change two tires.  At 4 pm I finally left there to go to Baltimore.  I load at the port in the morning.  Because it took so long to get out of Carlisle there were no parking places left at the only truck stop in Baltimore, the TA.  So I left there and drove about 25 miles north to the Maryland House Rest Area on I-95. I'll be there for the night.

The guy was here first thing this morning and did my three axle alignment.  It was definitely out of wack.  But I already knew that, I could feel it.  After that I went to the tire shop.  He did not have my tires in stock so he ordered them.  Will be here in the morning.  Went back to the Daily yard for the rest of the day.
