Got started a half hour before sunrise this morning and drove in to Bridgeville, Pennsylvania and delivered the building.  As usual, as soon as we started to unload the rain came!!

Next load is Monday in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  I headed back east.  Past this little fellow on the way.  Anyone recognize him?

Stopped at the "home office" in Carlisle, PA.  Will be here until Sunday morning.  I'll go over to Lancaster early to beat most of the traffic.

Left this morning at sunrise.  Drove past the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky again today.  Also right next door to it is the birthplace of all the Corvettes, the Bowling Green Corvette Assembly Plant.

Was very nice weather until just south of Cincinnati.  That when the rain started.  Finished the rest of the day in the rain.  Had a few areas of bumper to bumper in Cincinnati and Columbus.  Had another good one today...

Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Hebron, Ohio.  Hope the rain stops before tomorrow morning.

Started off this morning after the Little Rock curfew was over.  Stopped at the Petro truck stop in North Little Rock to get a new tire.  This is why...

When that was done I got back on the road again.  Unfortunately I didn't get as far as I wanted today.  Heard over the radio that ahead of me the Interstate was closed because of a bad crash and there was a 20 mile (32.19 km) back up.  I didn't want to play in that sandbox, so I stopped early for the night at a truck stop in Holladay, Tennessee.

Here is the info on the crash...

Went over to Minden, LA this morning to load a Cell Phone Communications Building that is going to Bridgeville, Pennsylvania.  Loaded it and scaled. Fortunately they have a scale on their property.  Was too heavy on my drive axles so I went back over to the crane and they moved it back some.  Scaled again.  Still too heavy so I went back to the crane and they moved it back as far as they could.  Scaled again.  Still too heavy.  Went back to the crane.  They picked up the building, spun it around, and put it on backwards as far back as it could go.  Scaled again.  This time it was good enough.  Third time was the charm.

Finally got out of there and on the road.  Had to stop in Louisiana and wait for my Arkansas permit to come in. Fortunately it didn't take too long and I was back moving again.  

In Arkansas drove up on a car fire.  Was burning pretty good.  

Then the fire department arrived.

They had it out in just a couple minutes and I was back moving again.

Because of all the delays today, I didn't make the Little Rock, Arkansas curfew so I stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Little Rock.  Can't start until after 9 am tomorrow morning.
