As soon as my 10 hours was up I left.  Here is sunrise in New Mexico this morning.

Another really good day on the road.  Drove another 604 miles (972 km) today.

I love Texas !!!!

 Stopped for the rest of the weekend at the Petro truck stop in San Antonio, Texas.

Once again I timed it perfectly and got to Tucson right at 9 am.  Continued on up to Eloy, Arizona and delivered the wheel loader.   My next load is way back in Victoria, Texas.  I started back that way.  Passed a place that I always like to look at as I pass by on I-10 west of Tucson.  It is Pinal Air Park.  Click on the name to get more information on it.  It has a very interesting history.  I think it is pretty cool seeing all those 747s sitting in the middle of the desert.

Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Another real good day on the road. Stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Benson, Arizona.  Knocked off another 566 miles (910.8 km) today.  Will get a very late start tomorrow.  Can't go into Tuscon until after 9 am.

Couldn't go into Houston until 9 am so I timed my departure so that I wouldn't.  As it turned out, I was perfect again.  Got to Houston right at 9 am.  Didn't have too much trouble getting around Houston.  A small amount of bumper to bumper traffic But it was not bad at all.  Once you get past San Antonio the speed limit goes up to 80 mph (128.7 kph).  I love Texas!!  Didn't quite make it as far as I wanted to today.  Ran out of daylight so I had to stop for the night at a rest area in Iraan, Texas.  Only 537 miles (864 km) today.

Left Quincy, FL a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Had a great day on the road.  No traffic problems at all.  I stopped only twice all day.  Once at the weigh station in Pensacola, FL and the other time was for that stupid required 30 minute break.  That was all.  Stopped for the night, 638 miles (1026.76 km) later, at the Petro truck stop in Beaumont, Texas.

Yesterday morning I drove up to Savannah, Georgia to the TA truck stop.

This morning I went over to the Port and loaded a Caterpillar 980M Wheel Loader that is going out to Eloy, Arizona.

 I couldn't have loaded it any more perfectly.

Left there and drove to the Flying J truck stop in Quincy, Florida.
