In Kentucky and Tennessee permit loads can run at night, so as soon as my 10 hours was up I got on the road.  Wanted to get in front of the Nashville curfew, which I did.  Then a little while later I stopped for a half hour to wait for the Chattanooga curfew to get over.  Then on down to Atlanta.  Lots of heavy traffic and bumper to bumper.  Finally got through that mess.  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Lake Park, Georgia.

My machine was sitting at the Daily yard in Morton waiting for me.  Glad I spent the night there. This morning I loaded another Caterpillar D9T Dozer that is going to Blount Island, Florida.  That is the Port of Jacksonville.  Then on a boat to Durban, South Africa. 

Left there and drove to the Flying J truck stop in Oak Grove, Kentucky for the night.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning and drove to a quarry in Romeoville, Illinois.  Had to go all the way to the back of the thing which made the truck and trailer a total mess!!!!!  Delivered the dump truck.  Next load is in East Peoria, Illinois.  Drove down to the Daily yard in Morton for the night.

Left at sunrise this morning.  Rained most of the morning.  The Great Smokey Mountains lived up to their name.  Beautiful drive through the gorge on I-40 today.  Stopped for the night at the Pilot truck stop in Marion, Illinois.

Drove down to Hope Mills, North Carolina this morning and loaded a Caterpillar 740B Dump Truck that is going to Romeoville, Illinois.

Took a while to load this.  They are not very easy to load on a beam trailer. Finally got it done and left.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Mocksville, NC.
