Thursday, June 13, 2019

Went over to the Caterpillar Proving Grounds in Washington, Illinois first thing this morning.  Loaded a Caterpillar D6 Dozer that is going to an oil refinery in Portland, Texas.



I am going to have an escort from St. Louis, Missouri until I deliver.  In Missouri and Arkansas I have to have two.  For some reason (I think the flooding might have something to do with it) I am going to be on two lane back roads through most of Missouri and Arkansas.  It doesn't look it, but I am 14 feet wide, thats why I have the escorts.  Anyway, I left there in pretty good time.  Just before I got back to the Interstate in Peoria, this happened...

Miscalculated when to have the escorts and scheduled them for tomorrow morning.  I could have made it through St. Louis today.  Oh well.  Will just have to get a late start tomorrow morning because of the St. Louis curfew that ends at 9 am.
