I left early this morning and drove all day stopping only once for that stupid required 30 minute break.  No problems through Nashville, Tennessee or St. Louis, Missouri. Weather was perfect to get a couple photos for you of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. 

Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Oak Grove, Missouri.  That is about 20 miles east of Kansas City.  733 miles today.  Not too shabby!!

Right about noon time I got another load. Drove over to Athens, Georgia in the rain which made Atlanta traffic even worse than it normally is.  Lots of bumper to bumper traffic on the way.  Finally got there and loaded two mini excavators.  One is going to Denver, Colorado and the other is going to Cheyenne, Wyoming.  It's a legal load so I can run all weekend.

Left there and promptly got into a lot more Friday afternoon rush hour bumper to bumper Atlanta traffic.  Didn't think I'd ever get outa that mess!!  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Cartersville, Georgia.

Went over to the Port of Savannah and loaded a Caterpillar 325F Excavator that is going to Austell, Georgia.  

Left there and drove to Austell and delivered it.  As usual lately, no loads available yet so I went to the Petro truck stop in Atlanta to wait.

Our brilliant mechanic in Jacksonville fixed my trailer the right way!!  Have another load Thursday morning in Savannah, GA.  I drove up to the TA truck stop in Richmond Hills, GA this afternoon.

This morning I drove in to Ocala and delivered the motor grader.  After that stopped by a very good friend's house for a quick "hello".  Then drove back the the Daily yard in Jacksonville.  Have an air leak on the trailer that needs fixin'.  Will be here until another load comes along.

This morning I drove down to the Florida Welcome Center on I-75.  In Georgia I could drive on Sunday but in Florida can't drive on the weekends past noon.  Just another STUPID law that serves no purpose what-so-ever!!!  I arrived at the Welcome Center right at noon.  I'll deliver in the morning.  Only a couple hours away.
