 As soon as my 10 hours were up I left.  That was at 10:45 PM CDT.  Did good until Atlanta.  There was a roll-over crash that had 3 of the 4 lanes blocked.  Finally made it past that.  Just south of Macon my "check engine" light came on.  Have no idea why, everything was fine.  Continued on down to the Flying J truck stop in Dade City, Florida for the rest of today and tonight. I got here before noon.  Drove 680 miles today, 580 yesterday. I'm a little tired so I'm going to bed.  Good night.

 As soon as my 10 hours were up I left, which was at 2 AM CDT.  Had rain most of the day.  LOTS of traffic back-ups in Nashville, Tennessee.  I was able to find a way around all of them so they didn't affect me much.  WHEW!!!  Stopped for my required 10 hours off at the TA truck stop just south of Nashville in Antioch, TN.

Here are the photos I tried to show you yesterday.  They were finally was able to upload.

 Timed it so that I would arrive in Kokomo to deliver first thing this morning.  They were expecting me at 7 AM.  I was early.  Got unloaded very quickly and was on my way to Davenport, Iowa for my next load.  Arrived at about 12:30 CDT.  Loaded a John Deere 26G Mini Excavator that is going to Plant City, Florida.  Also loaded a John Deere 524 Wheel Loader with its bucket and forks.  That is going to Pompano Beach, Florida.  

For some reason, Blogger won't upload photos right now.  I'll try again after I wake up.

I left there and went to the Iowa 80 truck stop for my 10 hours.  I'm really tired and going to sleep very soon.  Good night.

 Was up at 1 AM and on the road again at 2 AM.  Got stuck in wreck traffic on I-79 just south of I-70 in Washington, Pennsylvania.  Fortunately, it was on the other side.  Our stoppage was from the lookie-loos.




Once I got past that mess there were no other problems, except for the rain in western Ohio. Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Spiceland, Indiana with only 6 minutes left on my clock today.

 Was up at 1 AM and on the road at 2.  Drove to the Port of Baltimore.  Got there at 9:25 this morning.  I didn't get unloaded until 1 PM.  Then I was reloaded with a crate containing a CNC Machine that is going to Kokomo, Indiana.  It is a bit top-heavy.


Left there but didn't go very far, I was almost out of hours for today.  Went to the TA truck stop in Baltimore for the night.

 Went over to Caterpillar first thing this morning.  Was first in and first out.  Loaded two struts and a cab for a Caterpillar 789 Dump Truck.  They are going to the Port of Baltimore.


Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Hebron, Ohio.  I'll be back at it in 10 hours.
