As soon as my 10 hours was up I was on the road heading for Victoria.  Got there and loaded a Caterpillar 336F Excavator that is going to Ocala, Florida.

Left there and had a very good day on the road.  Some bumper to bumper traffic in Houston but not too bad.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Egan, Louisiana.  Tomorrow will be a very short day.  Can't drive in Mississippi or Alabama on Sunday.  I'll just drive to the other side of Louisiana tomorrow.

This was as bad as I thought it would be!!

Went back over to the landfill very early this morning.  Got there before they opened.  When they opened I went back in and hooked back up to my trailer.  Had to wait a couple hours for the crane to get there.  After they got there and set, up they took the machine off my trailer.  But they didn't have anything to put it on so they had to use my wood.  Then they started to put the wheels on.

It took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to put the wheels on.  At 2 pm they finally finished with the wheels and I got my wood back.  I was out of there as quick as possible.  My next load is in the morning down in Victoria, Texas.  That is about a 7 hour drive.  I started off that way.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in San Antonio.  As soon as my 10 hours is up, I'll finish the trip to Victoria.

Went over to the landfill to unload first thing this morning.  They couldn't unload me today, the crane couldn't get here until tomorrow.  I dropped my trailer there and went back to the truck stop until tomorrow morning.

Left this morning a half hour before sunrise.  Had another good day on the road.  When we got to Texas, my escort dropped off.  Don't need one in Texas.  I continued on to the Pilot truck stop in Snyder, Texas for the night.  Deliver down the road from here in the morning.

Left this morning to time it to get to St. Louis at 9 am when the curfew ends.  I was off by about 10 minutes.  Met my escort at the Missouri state line.  He will be with me until I get to Texas. 

Had a very good day on the road.  Missouri took us on a long detour.  Thought we would never get out of Missouri.  But we finally did.  Stopped for the night at the Woodshed Truck Stop in Big Cabin, Oklahoma.

Went back over and picked up my trailer this morning and sat there and waited for the "go ahead".  It finally came at 1 this afternoon.  I was very glad to get moving again.  Didn't get too far.  Stopped for the night at the Pilot truck stop in Lincoln, Illinois.  Will meet my Missouri escort at the State line in the morning at 9 am when the St. Louis curfew is over.
