As soon as my 10 hours were up I left and headed to my next load. That was in Copperas Cove, Texas. That was about a 6-hour drive to get there. I was lucky and able to load today. Loaded a Caterpillar D6 Dozer that is going to Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Hillsboro, Texas for the night. Now it is time to settle in for some football!!
Left at sunrise this morning. Pushed it hard today and made it to Lubbock, Texas and delivered the wheel loader a half hour before they closed. Then went to the Flying J truck stop in Lubbock for the night. 599 miles today.
Left at 2 AM EDT. Can drive at night in Tennessee. Passed a bad semi-wreck that had the eastbound side of I-40 totally blocked. Glad it was on the other side. Stopped at the TA truck stop in Denmark, Tennessee to wait for my Arkansas permit. Took a nap while there. Two hours later my permit arrived and I left. Drove to a "mom & pop" truck stop in Gurdon, Arkansas for the night. 645 miles today.
Left at sunrise this morning. Nothing interesting at all today. Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Knoxville, Tennessee.
First thing this morning I was at the truck shop to get the recall issue addressed. The recall was for the steering box. It only applied to certain serial numbers. I was very lucky, it did not apply to mine. The trailer shop took my trailer in and fixed the problem with it. When all that was done, I went down to the Volvo plant and loaded a Volvo L110H Wheel Loader that is going down to Lubbock, Texas.
From there I drove to the Flying J truck stop in Winchester, Virginia for the night.
