Went to the hotel this morning.  Taught the class this afternoon.  This evening went to the Safety Banquet.  The meal was very good.  I, along with a lot of others, got a nice jacket for five years with Daily Express with no preventable accidents and a good safety record.

Then they had door prizes after a bunch of speeches.  I won a couple of shackles,  I know that won't excite many of you, but I was glad to get them. 

 As soon as that was done I got out of there and back to my room.  Glad that is over with.  Now I can watch the football game.

Drove up to the "Home Office" in Carlisle, PA this morning.  After I got here I used their car and ran some errands including doing a few loads of laundry.  Tomorrow I'll head over to the hotel where I'll be teaching tomorrow afternoon and where the banquet will be held tomorrow night.

Left at sunrise this morning.  Drove in to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland and delivered the tractor.  Then reloaded with a Caterpillar 325F Excavator that is going to Poughkeepsie, New York. 

Went to the TA truck stop in Baltimore for the night.  

As I was walking back to the truck after dinner, I passed this truck in the parking lot.  

This is what I worry about every time I leave the truck in a truck stop parking lot.  Another truck hit this truck and was nowhere to be found.  Hit and run.  It happen all the time.

Yesterday, I was asked to teach the electronic logs again Saturday afternoon in Carlisle.  Was also asked to go to the Safety Banquet Saturday night.  Instead of trying to fight it, like I did last time, I just said OK.  Even though I really hate going to those things.  So tomorrow I'll go to Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Nothing exciting at all today.  Stopped for the night at a small truck stop in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania.  Fortunately, it didn't start raining until I stopped for the night.

This morning drove the rest of the way in to Waterloo, IA and loaded a John Deere 9520TPC Tractor that is going to the Port of Baltimore.  Of course it was raining.  I love driving these things!!!

Left there and drove in the rain all day.  Stopped for the night at the Pilot truck stop in Crawfordsville, Indiana.  Still raining!!

Went about 10 miles down the road and delivered the dump truck.  The load that I was going to pick up today got canceled.  So instead, I headed toward Waterloo, Iowa for a load tomorrow. Stopped for the night at a truck stop in Center Point, Iowa.  Settled in for the last college football game of the season.  Alabama vs. Clemson for the national championship.
