Today was not a very good day at all. I got up early and went across the parking lot to the truck wash and finally got this thing clean. In the process, I noticed that someone had stolen the beacon lights off the back of my trailer last night. Glad I keep a spare. Went a few miles down the road and loaded a Caterpillar 316 Excavator that is going to Mechanicsville, Virginia.
Left there in really good time, much earlier than I thought I would. Did pretty good until I got to Georgia on I-59. Just before exit 11, a semi-truck flipped over on it's side blocking the entire Interstate. It had just happened. I was about 1/4 mile from it. Could see it from where I sat.
Then the wrecker uprighted it.
Sat there for 2 hours and 25 minutes until they were able to clear enough road to let us get by. Fortunately, there was no fuel spill so there was no other clean-up needed. Fortunately, I can drive at night in Tennessee. Made it to Chatanooga and had a lot more bumper to bumper traffic. Finally got through there and continued up to the Petro truck stop in Knoxville for the night. Sure hope tomorrow is better!!
