Went over to Pataskala, Ohio first thing this morning.  Loaded a Screener that is going to Covington, Georgia.

I positioned the truck camera to get video of the machine loading but, for some reason, the camera stopped recording just as he was ready to load it.  All I got was some video of it getting in position to load.  Oh well, I tried.

 

Once my Ohio permit came in I left.  Had to stop early today.  Still don't have a Kentucky permit. Stopped just inside Kentucky at the TA truck stop in Walton, KY.  Looks like I'll be here all weekend.

Left at sunrise this morning and made my way over to Murrysville, PA and delivered the wheel loader.  Of course as soon as I got there and started to unchain the machine the heavens opened up and it poured rain.  Didn't stop until the machine was unloaded and I was done.  My next load is over in Pataskala, Ohio.  I left and drove over there.  Passed Three Rivers Stadium (now it's called Hintz Field) where the Pittsburgh Steelers play.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Hebron, Ohio.  When I got there I spent a couple hours fixing a few trailer lights that were out.  Had to replace one light and rewire another.  All good now.

Left at sunrise this morning.  Another uneventful day on the road.  Some bumper to bumper traffic going around Washington DC, but it wasn't too bad.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Breezewood, Pennsylvania.  I'll deliver in the morning about 2 to 3 hours from here.

Had a very nice weekend at home, except it was not long enough!!  Oh well, back at it again this morning.  Left a half hour before sunrise.  Very pleasent day on the road.  passed a grass fire that was burning in the median on I-95 in South Carolina.  Fire Department was just arriving as I was passing by it.  In North Carolina I saw a very large "dust devil" in a field just off the roadway.  Was pretty cool to see a mini tornado that close.  Aside from that, nothing else exciting today.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Kenly, North Carolina.
