Here is a little time lapse video from yesterday backing in to load.  All blind side backing. Hope you like it.

Here is a short time lapse video going down the road after being loaded.

Today I'll enjoy a bunch of football.

Went over to Menomonee Falls first thing this morning and loaded a Tunnel Boring Machine that is going to Cleveland, Ohio. 

Left there in great time.  I had all my permits except Ohio.  Found out, while on the way, that Ohio's permit computer crashed yesterday.  It was back up today but they were back logged.  Also found out that I needed a Cleveland City permit.  That one takes three days to process BUT they will not even start the process until they get my Ohio State permit.  All that means is that instead of delivering tomorrow as planned, I may not be able to deliver until Tuesday, Wednesday, or even Thursday!!  I stopped at the Petro truck stop in Gary, Indiana until I get my Ohio permits.  Happy, happy, joy joy!!

Had some snow last night.  About an inch.  Left real early this morning and drove the rest of the way up to Eau Claire, Wisconsin and delivered the dump truck.  After that drove over to the Daily terminal in Lannon, Wisconsin.  It is the Milwaukee terminal.  Had a bunch more things to fix on the trailer.  When he finished that, I found out that my printer took a dump.  Went to Wal Mart and bought a new one, then installed it.  Now I'm settled in for the evening.  I load very close to here in the morning.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Another great day on the road. Snow was on the ground in northern Illinois from a dusting to about a foot thick.  No snow on the ground in Wisconsin. It was sunny and the roads were clear and dry all day.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Portage, Wisconsin.  Will deliver tomorrow morning.

Went overt to the Port of Savannah first thing this morning and loaded a Caterpillar 745 Articulating Dump Truck that is going up to Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Got out of there in real good time this morning.  Went through Atlanta with no traffic problems.  That's amazing!!!!  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Cartersville, Georgia.  Feels GREAT to be back on the road again!!!!!!!!!!!

Hard to believe...

Left early this morning and drove to the TA truck stop in Richmond Hill, Georgia.  Wanted to (and did) beat all the "going home" traffic.  Load tomorrow morning over at the Port of Savannah.
