 Left as soon as my 10 hours were up.  That was at 11 pm.  Drove all night to the TA in Hudson, Wisconsin.  I still have more problems with the truck and trailer so I checked in at the repair shop.  Got there right at 8 AM when they opened.  They are so backed up that They won't get to me until tomorrow morning. Goodie!!!!  The repair saga continues!!

 Left at about 2 AM this morning.  Nice day on the road.  No problems.  Drove 608 miles to the TA truck stop in Whitestown, Indiana. I'll start back again at about midnight.  But for now, the phone is off, The Godfather Part 1 followed by Part 2 is on the TV, and I'm going to sleep.

 The crane was supposed to be here at 7 this morning.  It was an hour late.  Then it took about 2 hours to get it set up.  The owner was there and shot video from his drone.  He sent me the videos.

First, they moved the main building.

The next section to be flown into place was the drive-thru window.

Then it was my turn.  They flew in the bathrooms.

Once everything was off my trailer, I left and headed to Clayton, NC for my next load.  Once there loaded a Caterpillar 926M Wheel Loader that is going up to Hugo, Minnesota.

Left there but didn't go very far.  Stopped at the Petro truck stop in Mebane, NC. When my 10 hours are up, I'll hit the road. That should be about 2 AM.

 Left at sunrise this morning.  Short day.  Drove to the job site in Durham, NC where they are building a Checkers. I have the bathroom and air conditioning unit.

There are four trucks coming here with the rest of the building.  All loaded and left before me and I was still the first one here.  Had to parallel park to get in here to give the other trucks room to get in too.  Tomorrow we unload next door in the construction area.  Crane has to go in and set up first in the morning.  Have no idea what order they will unload us so I have no idea when I'll get unloaded. But I'm here for the night.

 I decided that I didn't want to sit for a day so I went down to Ormond Beach and loaded.  There were several other Daily trucks there that were also loading parts of this building that is going to Durham, North Carolina.  The section I got was the bathroom and air conditioning unit. I also got a parts crate.  It isn't heavy, just tall.  

Once all these things are put together it will be a Checkers restaurant. I left there and drove to the Flying J truck stop in St. George, South Carolina for the night.

 My trailer is all fixed.  This morning I went over to the Port of Jacksonville and loaded two Caterpillar 310 Excavators that are going to Ocala, Florida.  Was supposed to take one today and one tomorrow but I decided to take both today.  Was a bit overweight but there were no scales between here and there so I was not worried.  

Left there and drove to Ocala and delivered them.  Then drove back to the Daily yard in Jacksonville.  Now I get an unexpected day off tomorrow.  Next load is Wednesday in Ormond Beach, Florida.
