Very short day today.  Only went about 120 miles to the TA truck stop in Ashland, Virginia.  Will be here until Monday morning.

Nothing interesting today.  Left early this morning and drove to the Petro truck stop in Raphine, Virginia for the night.

All that stuff I posted yesterday about the super secret load was nothing but an April Fools Day joke.  Did I get you???  

Here is the real scoop...

This morning I drove to Lafayette, Indiana and loaded a Caterpillar C175 Genset that is going to the Port in Norfolk, Virginia.  Not very exciting, is it?

Drove to the Pilot truck stop in Mount Sterling, Kentucky for the night.  Tracker will be back on soon.

Well I finally got a load.  It is very different from anything I have ever done before.  It is over in Indiana, but that's all I can say about it.  It is a super secret load.  Can't say where I am loading or where it is going.  My tracker is turned off and so are all my cameras for this load.  Will have an armed security person in the truck with me.  Will have a ton of highly visible and invisible security for this.  Can't say anything more until it's over.  Will be very interesting!!!  I drove to the TA truck stop in Whitestown, Indiana for the night.  I'll have more details tomorrow.

Had another trailer light go out.  I tried to fix it but, as usual, I was unable to.  This morning went over to the Daily yard in Bettendorf, IA and had that fixed.  Was out of there before noon and back at Iowa 80 waiting for my next load.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Still very windy!!!  Drove to the Love's truck stop in Newton, Iowa.  It is right at the Iowa Speedway where NASCAR races.  Got all settled in then sent a text to the phone number that I had for delivery.  Had instructions to contact the guy before delivering.  Had no idea if that phone number was a cell phone that I could text to or if it was a hard phone in an office.  Much to my surprise he replied to my text!!  He even said I could deliver today!  Of course I jumped on that and drove over to Sully, IA, which was only about 30 miles away, and delivered the dozer.  I left there and drove to the world famous Iowa 80 truck stop in Walcott, Iowa for the night.
