Got up real early this morning and did some minor repairs to the truck.  Then off to Wally World (Wal-mart) to restock.  After that stopped at Shipley's Donuts!!!  Warm and delicious!!!!

Left Slidell, LA this morning at sunrise.  Delivered the excavator in Houston, Texas.  Next load is Monday in Austin, Texas.  Another short trip.  I drove over to the TA truck stop in New Braunfels, TX for the rest of the weekend.

Another very uneventful day on the road.  Drove 644 miles (1036.42 km) today.  Ran out of hours and stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Slidell, Louisiana.

Went back to the port this morning and picked up my trailer.  As soon as the Baltimore curfew was over at 9 AM I left.  Had no problems going around Baltimore or Washington DC.  The rest of the day was pretty uneventful too.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Greeneville, Tennessee.

Yesterday late afternoon a car carrier went to back into a parking spot but didn't see the truck behind him.  He backed right into it knocking off part of the bumper and putting a hole in the radiator.  Antifreeze was all over the place.  Kinda made it difficult for everyone else getting in or out.

The driver of the truck that got hit is the guy walking in the photo.

Took over an hour for the wonderful Baltimore police to show up. Then when he got there the dumb ass parked right in the middle of the only way in or out!!  Eventually he moved when trucks started lining up to get in and out.

After they finished with the cop, it took another four hours for the wrecker to show up.  Of course by then it was raining.  I felt really bad for that driver.

Nothing all morning!!  Then finally this afternoon got a load.  Went back to the port and loaded a Caterpillar 323FL Excavator that is going to Houston, Texas.  

Maryland permit didn't come in until it was too late to go anywhere today because of the Baltimore curfew.  I left my trailer there and went back to the TA truck stop in Baltimore for the night.

This morning went over to the Port of Baltimore and delivered the tractor.  I made a video of it for you.

Didn't have another load lined up so I went back to the TA in Baltimore to wait.
