At the stroke of twelve noon I was pulling out of the Petro in Florence.  Drove down to the Pilot truck stop in Kingsland, Georgia.  Can't go into Florida until tomorrow morning because of the STUPID holiday travel restrictions.

Left right at sunrise this morning.  Didn't have enough time to get to Georgia before the noon driving time cut off in South Carolina so I stopped at the Petro truck stop in Florence.  Can't start back up again until noon on Friday because of the Thanksgiving holiday permit load travel restrictions. More STUPID regulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning went the rest of the way into Harrisburg and delivered the genset.  Then drove down to the Port of Baltimore and loaded a Caterpillar 326F Excavator that is going down to Miami, Florida.

Left there and headed south.  Made it all the way around Baltimore and Washington DC with no traffic problems, although traffic was very heavy.  But then my luck ran out.  Took an hour to get to Fredericksburg, VA.  Lots of bumper to bumper traffic!!  Then north of Richmond, VA the same thing.  More bumper to bumper traffic.  Stopped for the night at Sadler's (of NASCAR fame) Pilot truck stop in Emporia, VA because I ran out of daylight.  Tomorrow is going to be worse!!  Due to the Thanksgiving holiday permit load travel restrictions kick in.  In North and South Carolina I have to stop at noon. I don't think I'll make it all the way through South Carolina before noon.
