I left a half-hour before sunrise this morning. Had a couple instances of bumper-to-bumper traffic, but nothing of any significance. Drove to the TA truck stop in Baltimore. Will be here until Monday morning.
Gators did good today. They should enjoy this because it won't be this good next week against Alabama. They are gonna get creamed!! Just hope they can at least hold their own like they did last year at the SEC Championship game.
I left a half-hour before sunrise this morning. Nice day on the road. Again, nothing exciting. When I got to Morton, Illinois I stopped at the Daily yard, dropped my trailer, and went over to Wal Mart. Had to re-stock on a few things. Was getting to critically low Mt. Dew levels. After that, I got my trailer again and was back on the road. Had a construction re-route in Illinois and Indiana. Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in London, Ohio.
Drove the rest of the way into Davenport, IA. Was a bit early. Unloaded the two alternators in a scrap yard that was very tight to maneuver in. On the way out a piece of metal cut one of the trailer tires. From there I drove over to Thermo King in Rock Island. It was only 15 minutes away. While they worked on my APU the tire guy was supposed to come out and change the tire but he didn't show up. 2 hours later, I ended up driving to their shop. Once that was fixed, I went to Waterloo, Iowa and loaded a John Deere 9570 tractor that is going to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland.
Left there and drove to the world-famous Iowa 80 truck stop for the night.
As soon as my 10 hours were up I left. Drove 641 miles to the Flying J truck stop in LaSalle, Illinois for the night.
Left early this morning and drove the rest of the way to Poughkeepsie, NY, and delivered the roller. Next load was way over in Altoona, PA. Drove over there to a Norfolk-Southern railroad yard. Loaded two train alternators that had outlived their usefulness. They are going to a scrapyard in Davenport, Iowa.
The Gators got off to an unimpressive but good start last night. I love this time of year!!!!!
As soon as the Gator game was over I left Kenly, NC, and drove all night up to the TA truck stop in Maybrook, New York. I'll be here until Tuesday morning because of the holiday tomorrow.
