Left this morning at sunrise and drove to Frederick, Maryland and delivered the building.  From there drove to the TA truck stop in Jessup, Maryland. Another truck had loaded a Caterpillar 329FL Excavator and was taking it to Charlotte, North Carolina. His truck broke down and he had to leave his trailer with the load at the truck stop.  I went there to get the load and deliver it.  Another truck came down from Carlisle to take the other trailer back to Carlisle after I put the excavator on my trailer.

By the time all that was done it was too late to leave the truck stop.  Would not make the Washington DC curfew.  But the main reason is that my Maryland permit did not come in until 4:15 pm.   I will start tomorrow morning after the Washington DC curfew is over.  Can sleep in a little bit.

Left this morning at sunrise.  Another good day on the road.  Passed a semi truck wreck.  He took the exit ramp a little too fast and the truck fell over.  Also passed another Google Maps Street View car.

This evening stopped at the Love's truck stop in Toms Brook, Virginia.  Barely got a spot to park. Had to parallel park.  You try this with a wide load that you can't see whats behind you.  Actually, there was plenty of room, it was easy.

I deliver tomorrow morning in Frederick, Maryland.

Left at sunrise this morning.  Nothing exciting or interesting all day.  Stopped for the night at a small truck stop in Lebanon, Tennessee.

Finally got another load!!!   Left OKC at about midnight and drove down to Minden, Louisiana and loaded a cell phone building that is going to Frederick, Maryland.  

It took over 3 hours for them to load me, and my Arkansas permit had not come in, so I ran out of hours.  Could only go as far as the little truck stop around the corner from where I loaded.
