Easy day today.  Left at sunrise and drove to the TA truck stop in Richmond, Virginia for the weekend.  Was done before 9 am.  

If you are wondering what this thing is on my trailer, here is an internet photo of what it looks like when it is all put together.

We left at sunrise this morning.  539 long hard miles through the mountains of Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia today. The route the State had us take was definitely the long way around!!!  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Raphine, Virginia.  I'm exhausted!!  Good night.

Went back and picked up my trailer this morning and finally got on the road.

At the Illinois / Indiana state line I picked up my escort.

He will be with me until I deliver.  We continued on and stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Waddy, Kentucky.

Went back to try to load again this morning.  The machine STILL was not ready. They said that it would be ready sometime today.  So I sat there ALL DAY and waited.  Finally late this afternoon the machine came from across the street. Had enough time to get it on the trailer, chain it down and scale it before they closed for the day.  I left my trailer there and went back to the Pilot truck stop for the night.

Went over to load first thing this morning.  They told me that I'm not supposed to load until tomorrow.  So, I went back to the Pilot truck stop until tomorrow.

Went over this morning and delivered the excavator.  Next load is tomorrow morning down in Decatur, Illinois.  Drove down there to the Pilot truck stop in Decatur for the night.
