This morning got up real early and got the truck and trailer washed.  Then drove to the TA in Baytown, Texas for the weekend.

Left just before sunrise this morning.  In less than two miles I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic caused by a crash up ahead.  About 45 minutes later I was past the wreck and traffic was flowing normally.  Made it down to San Antonio and delivered the dozer.  Then went over to the TA truck stop in San Antonio for the night.  Next load is Monday in Galveston, Texas.  I'll head that way tomorrow.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Nothing exciting today. Drove 582 miles non-stop to the TA truck stop in Rockwall, Texas.

We got about three inches of snow last night.  When I woke up it was still snowing.  Since I didn't have my Illinois permit yet and the roads were not cleaned up, I went back to sleep.  

After about an hour my permits started coming in.  I went over to Creve Core and loaded a Caterpillar D6 Dozer that is going to San Antonio, Texas.

Left there and drove down to the TA truck stop in Matthews, Missouri for the night.

Left  at sunrise this morning.  Still not feeling well.  Very overcast, and fog at about the tree tops.  Fortunately it stayed up there and visibility was fine.  Didn't take long for the rain to start.  Just past Champagne, Illinois the rain changed to snow.  It didn't stick to the roads, which was a good thing. North of Bloomington, IL the snow stopped.  Continued on to Deforest, Wisconsin and delivered the dump truck.  Next load is back down in Creve Core, Illinois.  I drove down to the Daily yard in Morton, IL.  More snow on the way down.  Still snowing here.  633 miles today.  Good night.

Think I'm getting sick.  Felt crappy yesterday.  Still feel that way today.  Got up real early and took a L-O-N-G hot shower.  That helped a little.  Left at sunrise this morning.  Overcast with rain on and off all day.  No problems on the road.  Nice day, except for the dreary weather.  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Whiteland, Indiana.
