 I timed it pretty good.  Left at about 4 AM EDT and was a little early to get to the Georgia state line so I stopped and got that 30 minute break out of the way.  I got to the Georgia line 38 minutes after sunrise.  Not too shabby!  Had no traffic problems at all today.  Drove to the Love's truck stop in Jasper, Florida.  I'll be here until Monday morning.  576 miles today.

 With my trailer fixed again, I left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Here is the sunrise over northern Illinois.

Had a very nice day on the road.  Nothing exciting.  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Oak Grove, Kentucky.  I can drive at night in Kentucky and Tennessee so I will.  I have to time it so that I don't get to Georgia before a half hour after sunrise. So I'll leave at about 4 AM EDT.

 As soon as my 10 hours were up I left.  That was at about 1:10 AM CDT.  Drove straight through stopping only twice.  Didn't think I would deliver until tomorrow.  Much to my surprise, I delivered today!!  With only one hour left on my clock, I drove to the Flying J truck stop in Alorton, Illinois.  It was the closest.  My next load is in Waterloo, Iowa.  When my 10 hours are up, I'll head that way to load in the morning.  664 miles today.  I'm tired.  Going to bed now.  Good night.

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Carthage, TX for my 10 hours.

 Had to wait for the New Orleans curfew was over before I left this morning.  Then I drove the rest of the way to Belle Chasse, LA, and delivered the things.  My next load is at the Port of Freeport, Texas.  I started off that way.  Stopped for the night at the Petro in Beaumont, TX.
