Left at 2:15 this morning. I couldn't go into Indiana until a half hour before sunrise.  I was three minutes early getting to Indiana.  Timed it pretty good.   I drove very s-l-o-w-l-y across the bridge into Indiana.  Had a great day on the road.  Did 585 miles today.  Stopped at the TA truck stop in Foristell, Missouri when I ran out of hours.  Had only 15 minutes left when I finished.  Will be here until Monday morning.

Was up at 2 am and on the road at 2:45.  It is so nice to be able to get out of Baltimore long before all the traffic starts up. But still had to time it so that I didn't get to West Virgiinia before sunrise.  Nice day on the road, nothing exciting, just all the ups and downs through the western Maryland and West Virginia mountains.  Drove to the Flying J truck stop in Catlettsburg, Kentucky for the night. Ran out of hours.  I'll get another early start in the morning.  Kentucky is another state that I can drive at night in, so I'll time it so that I cross into Indiana a half hour before sunrise. Turning the phone off again and going to sleep very soon, I'm tuckered out!!

Was on the road at midnight.  Drove the rest of the way to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland.  Got there an hour before they opened.  When they opened, I loaded a Volvo A40G Articulating Dump Truck that is going to Kansas City, Kansas.

After I finished loading, I went to the TA truck stop in Baltimore.  I was basically out of hours for the day.  I was parked before 10 am.  Got a well deserved (needed) shower, some lunch, and now going to sleep.  Turning the phone off again!!!   Good night.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning and drove the rest of the way to Londonderry, New Hampshire and delivered the excavator.  Was empty before my dispatcher got to work!! Don't have another load yet but headed toward Baltimore anyway.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Maybrook, New York.  I'm really tired so the phone is turned off and I'm going to sleep now.  Good night!!!

Left real early this morning.  Got to Pennsylvania right at sunrise.  Then beat the Harrisburg curfew.  Continued on up to New York.  Crossed the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge without having to stop (for a change).  I was just under the weight limit so I could go right across.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Willington, Connecticut for the night.

Got unloaded very quickly this morning.  My next load is back in Baltimore, Maryland at the Port.  Drove down there.  Got to the Port to check in one minute too late.  They go to lunch at 11:30, I got there at 11:31.  Had to wait to check in an hour and a half for them to come back from lunch.  UNIONS!!!!!  Then loaded a Caterpillar 326FL Excavator that is going up to Londonderry, New Hampshire.

Left there and went over to the TA truck stop in Baltimore for the night.

Was on the road at 2:45 am in the rain. It is so nice driving at night, no traffic!!  Drove all the way to where I'm delivering tomorrow morning in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
