Went over to the Port of Baltimore this morning. When I checked in to unload and to re-load they said that the machine I was to pick up had already been picked up in August. Ok. So I sent an email to my dispatcher in Carlile then went and unloaded the tractor. I packed everything up to leave. But something didn't seem right. I decided I would drive around the Port and see if I could find the machine. Lo and behold, I did. I took a photo of it and the serial number and went back to the office. They had to figure out what happened at their end. Once all the paperwork was straightened out, I went back to the machine and loaded it. It is a Caterpillar MH3026 Material Handler going to East Peoria, Illinois.
They can be a pain to load because the outriggers hit the trailer going on. Have to build a small ramp for the tires to go up on before the trailer. As you can see, it's up there with no problems. Left there much later than I wanted to and drove to the TA truck stop in Wheeling, West Virginia for the night.
Also, someone stole my fuel cap over the weekend. Had to replace it when I got here.
