Left early again and drove into Topeka, Kansas, and delivered the wheel loader. My next load was way up in Waterloo, Iowa. I drove there. John Deere employees are still on strike so our loading procedure was changed a bit. Instead of waiting in a large staging area, we had to line up on the road. This is what it looked like when I got there.
They did a very good job at keeping things moving. Only took a little over an hour to get in to load. Once there, loaded a John Deere 8370 Tractor that is going to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland.
It is 12 feet, 6 inches wide. That means I will have a few escort cars in certain states. The first one is in Indiana. Also means the permit route is really all over the place, not a straight shot to Baltimore. I left there and drove to the Daily terminal in Bettendorf, Iowa for the night. Tomorrow morning the mechanic here has to look at my trailer. The ABS light is stuck on.
