Left at sunrise this morning.  Pretty good day on the road.  Made it through Baton Rouge, LA with no bumper to bumper traffic.  That is rare!!  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Marianna, Florida.

Went to Caterpillar in Victoria, Texas first thing this morning.  For a very nice change everything went smoothly this morning.  Loaded a Caterpillar 336F Excavator that is going to Ocala, Florida.

I was out of there before 9 am.  Not too long after I got on the road traffic came to a stand still because of a wreck up ahead. Earlier a flat bed semi truck carrying train wheels crashed dumping all the train wheels all over the place.  Fortunately my luck was holding and they started to let traffic go through just a few minutes after I got there.  They had removed the truck but were still picking up the train wheels.

Continued on without any problems.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop.  Did three loads of laundry tonight.  Glad that's done!!!

Left at sunrise this morning and drove over to Prairieville, LA and delivered the dozer.  Next load is tomorrow in Victoria, Texas.  I drove that way.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Ganado, Texas.

Left the Daily yard in Jacksonville a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Had an excellent day on the road.  Traffic was light most of the day and the weather was perfect.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Hammond, Louisiana.

Went up to Pooler, GA first thing this morning.  As usual there was a problem with the paperwork (I had nothing to do with the problem, it was all at their end) and I had to wait for over an hour and a half for it to get straightened  out.  So I went from second in line this morning to being last to get loaded.  Finally got loaded with a Caterpillar D6T Dozer that is going to Prairieville, Louisiana.

Left there but because of the delay this morning, I didn't get very far.  I stopped for the night at the Daily yard in Jacksonville, Florida.  Had to have some minor trailer repairs too so it was a good thing to stop here for the night.
