Got up at 3 am and drove the rest of the way into Cambridge, Mass. to the MIT campus.  I never want to do that again!!   WOW!!  Tight squeeze getting in and out.  To make it worse, it was raining.  The job site where I delivered the crane was a total mud mess.  There is mud all over the inside of the truck.  It took all morning to get the tracks back on the crane and get it off the trailer. Finally got out of there and headed to Carlisle, PA.  Made it as far as Scranton, PA to the Petro before I ran out of hours.  As soon as my 10 hours is up, I'm outta here.

I HATE COMING UP TO THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went over to the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge for my 10:30 am crossing.  There were about seven trucks lined up to go.  At 11 am they finally stopped traffic for us and they took us across the bridge.  Then it took another fifteen minutes to get through the toll booth.  Was not able to make the Cambridge curfew so I had to stop at the closest truck stop to Cambridge.  It is in Shrewsbury, about two hours away!!  The only good thing is that I can drive tomorrow morning between 3 am and 7 am so I'll go the rest of the way before sunrise.  Such a pain in the butt coming up here!!!
