Was over at the Port of Baltimore before they opened. Very busy day at the Port. Lots of trucks lined up to get in. Once I got in and through security I was first in line to check in. Checked in at 8 am when they opened and then went over to the crane to unload. It took them forever to unload it. They couldn't figure out how to lift it off. Didn't know where the lift points were. When something weighs 65,000 pounds you don't just lift it from anything. Lift points are built into it. Anyway, they finally got it off and I went to Pasadena, Maryland to load a CZM Drill. They didn't know I was coming and weren't ready. They did, however, get it ready quickly. Put it up on the trailer.
Had a rear overhang that was WAY too long. That wasn't going to work. Not only that, none of my permits allow rear overhang. We spent hours trying to make it better. That is the very abbreviated version. Finally got it better, but still have an overhang.
Daily was not real happy because they had to re-order all my permits. Just hope I don't have to move the machine. Won't know that until I get to a scale. By now it was too late in the day to go anywhere, plus I don't have my new Maryland permit yet. I also need an escort car in Maryland. That won't be here until tomorrow morning. After securing the machine to the trailer I left it there and drove bobtail over to the TA truck stop in Jessup, MD for the night.
