Saturday, September 19, 2015

Left this morning at sunrise. Drove from North Carolina through Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and finally came to rest at the Petro truck stop in Greensburg, Indiana. 601 miles (967.2 km). Beautiful drive through the mountains today. Went through the area of North Carolina that The Andy Griffith Show was from. The sun lit up Pilot Mountain (Mt. Pilot on the TV show) real well this morning.

But now it is time for football!!! I'm afraid that my Gators are going to get creamed tonight.

This morning I finally got a load. It was down in Clayton, North Carolina. I drove down there and made it just in time to get loaded today. Loaded a Caterpillar 938M Wheel Loader that is going to Altoona, Iowa.

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Whitsett, NC for the night.

Got started well before sunrise this morning and drove to Belle, West Virginia and delivered the first blade and parts box. After that drove to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland and delivered the other blade. Don't have another load yet so I went to the TA truck stop in Baltimore to wait for the next one.
