As soon as my 10 hours was up I left.  Stopped in Brunswick, Georgia and got the truck washed and the APU serviced.  It looks so darned good when its clean. Then finished my trip home.  I'll be home for a little while.  Going to get my windshield replaced next week.  My next load is June 9th in Pensacola.

Didn't oversleep today and got on the road just before sunrise.  Made it to Knoxville, Tennessee and delivered the excavator.  Didn't have another load, and I didn't want to sit in Knoxville for the holiday weekend, so I started for home.  Traffic was horrible!!  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in St. George, South Carolina.

I overslept this morning and got a late start.  Fortunately with the longer daylight hours, it didn't matter.  Got on the road and first thing I was cut off again.  Happens every day to almost every truck on the road.  

Even so, had a great day on the road.  As I went over the Mississippi River into Iowa came upon a crash that just occurred.  Not sure how it happened but a pick up truck with a trailer was jack knifed and pointed the wrong way on the east side of the bridge.  Here is the video as I passed it.

That is all the interesting stuff from today.  Made it all the way to the Pilot truck stop in Paducah, Kentucky.  Didn't plan on it at all, but I may be able to deliver tomorrow.  Hope so!!  we shall see.

Left just before sunrise this morning.  Nothing exciting today.  Took another picture of Wyoming for my sister.

Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Avoca, Iowa.

Well it seemed like it took forever to get my Montana permit today.  But it did arrive.  So at 11 am local time I hit the road.  Here is a picture of a mountain in Wyoming.  This is for my sister, she likes mountain pictures.

And here is a weather picture from Wyoming.

Stopped for the night at a truck stop in Caspar, Wyoming.

This morning went about 12 miles down the road and delivered the mini excavators.  Didn't have another load so I went back to the truck stop.  Took a shower, had breakfast, and did 3 loads of wash.  Finished just as I got my next load.  So I left and drove west to Belgrade, MT to a Richie Brothers Auction and loaded a John Deere 200DX Excavator that is going to Knoxville, Tennessee.  For an auction machine, this one is in pretty good shape.

Don't have any permits yet so I'll be at the Flying J truck stop in Belgrade, MT until Montana's permit gets here sometime tomorrow morning.
