 The offense was horrible.  The defense was even worse!!

 Left at 1 AM and drove to the Caterpillar dealer in Mechanicsburg, Virginia. Got there real early but was still able to unload.  Then drove up to the Port of Baltimore.  Lots of Washington DC rush hour traffic!!  When I got to Baltimore I loaded a Caterpillar 320 Excavator that is going to Indianapolis, Indiana.

Left there and drove to the Pilot truck stop in Hagerstown, Maryland. I'll do a reset here tomorrow then continue on Sunday.

Tomorrow...

 Left North Little Rock, Arkansas as soon as my 10 hours were up.  Drove to Kenworth in Nashville, TN.  Dropped off my trailer there and picked up a trailer that had a Caterpillar Backhoe on it that is going to Mechanicsville, Virginia.  The driver that had this load broke down, so I'm finishing it.

Left there and drove to the Petro in Glade Spring, Virginia for the night.

 Left at 3 AM CDT and drove the rest of the way to Lonoke, AR to the Remmington ammunition plant.  I was the first of our trucks to get there.  The crane was there and set up but they didn't bring enough counterweight for this lift.  They had to go back and get more.  So I had to wait.  This was my view while waiting.  When they were ready, I had to back in to where you see the crane.

I got backed in there but it was very tight with a stretched trailer.  Had to do a LOT of wiggling and most of it blind because of the width of the tank.  Earned my money on that one!!  They lifted the thing off and I pulled out.  Then shrunk the trailer back to normal.  From there I went to the Petro in North Little Rock for the night.  Next load is in Nashville, TN tomorrow.  I'll be leaving early again.

 Left Jacksonville at 3 AM this morning and drove up to Manchester, Tennessee.  Had to stretch the trailer for the load to fit.  

Then loaded a large tank that is going to Lonoke, Arkansas.  There are two more going.  They are already on their way.

I was almost out of hours for the day so I stayed there for the night.  I'll leave tomorrow.

 Left at 3:30 this morning and drove down to Orlando and delivered the Telehandler.  Was out of there by 7 AM.  Drove back to the Daily yard in Jacksonville.  Got my next load late this afternoon.  It is up in Manchester, Tennessee.  Have to swap out trailers for this one.  I'll leave here around 3 AM to head up there.

 Early this morning I drove to the Daily terminal in Jacksonville, Florida.  Then went back to sleep.  Here is what I am hauling.

I'll leave here real early tomorrow morning to go to Orlando to deliver.
