This morning went over to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland. Loaded a blade for a Caterpillar D8 Dozer, the swing arms, and a parts box. All going to a landfill in Dover, Ohio.
I tried to make it a legal load (not needing permits) and thought I had it. But it didn't work. When I started to move the blade shifted. Had to go back and have the forklift re-position it. Now it was a permit load. Oh well, I tried. Left there and drove straight through to Dover, Ohio landfill, 408 miles. There was plenty of room for me to park overnight. There is a snow/ice storm on the way. I pushed it hard to get there. Didn't want to be stuck at a truck stop an hour or less away. At least when I'm empty I can still drive in the snow or ice. Can't with a permit load. So I will get empty first thing in the morning. My next load is in Kernersville, North Carolina. That puts me driving right through the heart of the snow/ice storm through the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia and North Carolina in the morning. Tomorrow will be an interesting day.
