Got started a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Had to stop very early today because the STUPID holiday restrictions kick in.  In Ohio, have to stop before noon.  Stopped at the TA truck stop in London, Ohio.  That is just west of Columbus.  Can't start back up until January 3rd.  STUPID Government regulations!!!!

Got started real early this morning and drove the three and a half hours up to Geneva, Illinois and loaded a Caterpillar 980M Wheel Loader that is going to the Port of Baltimore.

Left there and drove to the Love's truck stop in Pittsboro, Indiana for the night.  Had a few snow showers here but nothing accumulated. Tomorrow will be a short day.  Holiday restrictions kick in so I'll have to be off the road by noon.

Was really foggy this morning.  Went over to the Port of Savannah and loaded a Caterpillar 330FL Excavator that is going to Hannibal, Missouri. 

Left there in great time.  Traffic was very heavy all day but I only had a couple small areas of bumper to bumper.  There was a high speed police chase going south on I-75 south of Atlanta that I saw as it went flying by. Traffic going the other direction was a total mess.  North of Atlanta it was backed up for about 15 miles.  In Chattanooga it was backed up for 10 miles.  So glad I was going the other way!! Rained a little on and off all day.  Made it to the TA on the south side of Nashville for the night.
