Left at midnight and drove the rest of the way home to the Daily Jacksonville, Florida terminal. Will be off for about a week and a half.

Once again, as soon as my 10 hours was up I was on the road.  Was really nice to be done for the day before noon!!  Stopped for another 10 hours at the TA truck stop in Jackson, Georgia.

As soon as my 10 hours was up I was back on the road again heading south.  Stopped at the truck wash at the Iowa 80 truck stop on the way. There was no line, I just pulled right in.  That never happens!!!  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Mount Vernon, Illinois.  Went across the street and had dinner at Chili's again.  So good!!!  Going to sleep real early tonight so I can get started again as soon as my 10 hours is up.

Fortunately it didn't take long for my Iowa permit to come in.  Left as soon as it arrived.  Drove in the rain, some of it heavy, all day.  Here is the detour the State of Minnesota send me on because of construction on I-35.

Finally got there and delivered the dump truck.  Amazingly, it stopped raining while I unloaded.  It is usually the opposite!!  Left there and drove down to the Petro truck stop in Albert Lea for the night.

Left this morning and drove to the TA truck stop in Brooklyn, Iowa.  Won't have my Iowa permit until tomorrow sometime - I hope.  I went as far as I dared go in Iowa without one.  There is a weigh station a little further and it was open today.  Couldn't go through there without a permit.  That would be a very bad thing.  Hopefully it will come in early tomorrow morning.
