Left just before sunrise this morning.  Drove non-stop to the Daily yard in Houston, Texas and dropped my trailer.  Then went over to Verizon and replaced my phone.  It has been dying for quite a while and needed to be replaced.  After that over to the Flying J truck stop in Baytown for the rest of the weekend.

Started late this morning and timed the Kansas City curfew perfectly.  Got to the KC city limits at 9:03 am.  Shortly after leaving Kansas City I went on back roads and stayed there the rest of the day.  All those little towns!!  Speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down!!  And of course almost every one of those little towns had stop lights.  I got only one green light all day!!!!  Stopped for the night at the Choctaw Nation Travel Plaza in Stringtown, Oklahoma.

Left before sunrise this morning and drove to Cedar Rapids, Iowa and delivered the excavator.  Then loaded a Caterpillar 972K Wheel Loader that is going down to Houston, Texas.

Left there and went and scaled.  Of course, my weight was a little off so I had to move the machine.  When that was done I was back on the road.  Had to stop early because of the Kansas City curfew.  So, I'll get a late start tomorrow too.  Stopped at the Pilot truck stop in Kearney, Missouri for the night.

Easy day today.  My next load is tomorrow at the same place I am delivering.  So I'll deliver tomorrow instead of today.  Stopped at Iowa 80 for the rest of the day.  While eating lunch I saw a film crew shooting a segment.  Of course, having a background in that, I had to go and find out what they were doing.  It was for an internet network called "Transportation Nation".
