As soon as my 10 hours were up I left.  That was 1 AM EST or 11 PM MST.  Had great weather all the way across North Dakota and into Montana.  But about an hour and a half east of Billings, Montana the weather caved in.  

I continued on.  Only broke traction once going up hill.  But I straightened out quickly and continued on.   Made it to the Flying J truck stop in Billings, MT.  Drove 597 miles today.  Hopefully all this weather will pass by and I can go as soon as my 10 are up again.  I'll worry about that after I wake up.  Good night.

As soon as my 10 hours was up I left. That was at 2:15 CST.  Pretty good day on the road.  My trailer ABS light came back on again.  

When I stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Fargo, North Dakota I checked in at the shop.  While I was there waiting the trailer developed another big air leak.  Glad I was there.  They fixed everything while I ate dinner.  When I came back, it was all done.

We got about 3 inches of snow and a little bit of ice last night.  Enough to bring out all the plows.  My Indiana permit came in at 8:15 this morning and I left.  The roads had been cleared real good.  Had misty rain and some more light snow most of the morning, but no big deal.  Back roads for most of the day to avoid the toll roads.  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in South Beloit, Illinois.  I'll be pulling out of here as soon as my 10 hours is up.  Good night.

Left at sunrise this morning.  Good day on the road.  Nothing exciting.  Still do not have my Indiana permit so I stopped at the Flying J truck stop in Ft. Wayne, Indiana for the night and to wait for it to come in.  Supposed to get some snow tonight.  They say 1 to 4 inches.

They finished my trailer last night and it was outside waiting for me this morning.  I was at the shop door with the truck before they came in to work.  They took it in as soon as they got there.  At about 9 AM they finished.  Hooked up to my trailer and headed for Shady Grove, PA.  Got there and loaded a Grove RT540E Crane that is going to Arlington, Washington.

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Lamar, PA for the night.  After dinner i wanted to take a shower BUT the showers were out of order.  They have no water!!!!   Just great!!!  They said that they were working on it but had no idea when it will be fixed.

Left at sunrise this morning and drove the 25 miles to delivery and delivered the crusher.  My trailer still needs work done on it and my truck was due for service so I drove back to Carlisle, PA to get it done.  When I got there I was lucky and they took both the truck and trailer in and started on them.  Didn't finish the truck today but will finish in the morning.  Don't know about the trailer yet.  Have to load tomorrow so they put some pressure on the two shops to get it done quick.  It seems to have worked.
