 Thought you might like a better photo of how this tractor sits on the trailer.  Has to be perfect loading and unloading.

 Left before sunrise this morning.  Had to time it so that I didn't get to West Virginia before sunrise.  I arrived at WV at sunrise and my pilot escort car was there waiting for me.  He fell in behind me and we continued on.  Once we got to Maryland on I-68 he dropped off and I continued on.  Stopped for the rest of the weekend at a truck stop in Hagerstown, Maryland.

 My escort car was right on time this morning and we left a half-hour before sunrise.  Nice easy drive today.  East of Indianapolis we got snow flurries.  After a while, it intensified and snowed hard.  Enough to start to accumulate.  As soon as we got to Ohio the snow stopped.  Weird!!!  My escort car dropped off and I continued on through Ohio.  Stopped for the night at the Pilot truck stop in Belmont, Ohio.  Have to have another escort car in West Virginia.  I'll meet him at the state line on I-470 in Wheeling tomorrow at sunrise.

 Loaded a John Deere 9520RX Tractor that is going on an ocean cruise from the Port of Baltimore.  

Left there and drove only 372 miles today.  Thought you might like to see what it looks like when I look in the mirror.  Notice how much of the track is not on the trailer.

Stopped for the night at a convenience store with a few truck parking places in Danville, Illinois for the night.  Have to have an escort car in Indiana.  He will meet me here in the morning.

 Left Morton, Illinois at midnight.  Drove to Omaha, Nebraska, and got there a few minutes before they opened.  Gave me just enough time to get all but 2 chains off.   Went in and delivered the thing.  Next load is in Waterloo, Iowa at the John Deere plant.  Drove back there.  Arrived with only 3 minutes left on my clock.  700 miles on the button today.  I'm a bit tired sooooo  good night.

 Slept some more today.  Also went to Wal-Mart and did a couple loads of laundry.  I'll be back on the road again at about midnight CDT.

 As soon as my 10 hours were up, I left.  That was about 1 AM.  I didn't realize that my 70 hour clock was running out.  That meant that I only had about 6 hours available today.  So I drove to the Daily terminal in Morton, Illinois.  Going to get some sleep and figure out when I can go again when I wake up.
