This morning I left just before sunrise.  On I-70 and I-68 I saw dozens and dozens of buses heading toward Washington DC for the "Loonie Lefty Ladies March"  today.  Other than that, it was a pretty easy drive up to Harmony, PA.  That is north of Pittsburgh.  Went to where I am delivering Monday and dropped the trailer in their driveway.  Then went about 11 miles north to the Pilot truck stop in Portersville, PA for the rest of the weekend.

This morning called the Cummins shop.  They said my truck would be ready late this afternoon Checked out of the hotel at noon and went back to Cummins to wait.  When it was finished I went back to Daily truck shop.  He was still swamped.  Sent me over to the Petro truck stop to have the oil changed and the rest of the PM done there.  So I went over there and had that stuff done.  Then back to Daily for the night.  Tomorrow I'm supposed to be at the Daily truck shop again to have the rest of the work done.

This morning was at the Daily truck shop to have the work done on my truck.  He was swamped, so at about 10 am he called me and said to take the truck over to Cummins in Harrisburg.  They were going to address the two "Check Engine" lights that were on. I drove over there and dropped the truck off.  They took me over to a hotel where I checked in for the night.  We will see what happens tomorrow.

This morning drove up to Poughkeepsie, PA.  Had to wait at the Newburgh-Beacon bridge that goes over the Hudson River.  They had to stop traffic so that the oversized loads could go across the bridge.  They only do that twice a day, 10 am and 2 pm.  If you aren't there then you have to wait till the next day.  It also costs $100 plus the bridge toll to go across.  I was there an hour and a half early.  At 2 pm there was another truck behind me to go across too.  At 2:30 they stopped traffic and off we went.  Once I exited the interstate to go up to Poughkeepsie, NY it took 30 minutes to go 11 miles.  Finally made it there and delivered the excavator.  I then drove back to Carlisle, PA.  Going to have service done on the truck tomorrow.
