 Left real early again and drove to the Daily terminal in Jacksonville, Florida.  I'm unloading the machine here.  Another driver will take it the rest of the way to Dania Beach.  I am getting a different trailer (only temporally) to pick up a machine at the Port in Charleston, South Carolina Monday morning.

 Left Carlisle, PA early this morning and drove to McConnellsburg, PA.  Loaded a Caterpillar TL1255 Fork Lift that is going to Dania Beach, Florida.

While loading it broke through the floor on the back deck.

Left there and drove to the Kenly 95 Petro Truck Stop in Kenly, North Carolina.  As soon as my 10 hours are up, I'll hit the road again.  I-95 is much better to drive at night when there is less traffic.

 Left at 2:30 this morning and drove the rest of the way to Milford, Massachusetts, and delivered the counterweight. Then turned around and drove to the "home office" in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  Another 600 miles today.  Needed a tire replaced on the trailer and got it done while there.  I load tomorrow morning in McConnellsburg, PA.

 Left at about 12:30 AM and had a good day on the road.  No traffic issues at all.  Washington DC, Baltimore, and Harrisburg were a breeze.  Stopped for the rest of the day at the TA truck stop in Montgomery, New York.  The truck is due for another routine maintenance so I'll get it done here.

 After a much-needed restful weekend, I went over to the Port of Savannah and loaded a Caterpillar Counterweight that is going up to Milford, Massachusetts. 

While there the guy from the Port asked me if I would be able to help out another driver load an excavator that he was not comfortable loading.  I said "sure". So, after I got everything squared away with my load I went over to him and loaded his excavator for him on his truck.  Then I left.  Drove to the Petro Kenly 95 Truck Stop in Kenly, North Carolina for my 10 hours.  As soon as it is up, I'm leaving. Phones off.  Going to bed now.  Good night.
