Friday, October 7, 2022

As soon as my ten hours were up I left. That was about 1 AM EDT. Nothing interesting on the road today. Stopped at the Petro truck stop in Raphine, Virginia. I'll be here until Sunday morning.

Left at about 1 AM CDT and drove the rest of the way to North Little Rock, Arkansas, and loaded a ripper for a motor grader that is going to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland.

Talk about an easy load!!!! I love it!!! Left there and drove to a "mom & pop" truck stop in Lebanon, Tennessee. I try to stop in these kinds of places when I can find them. The food is usually better in them, and it was here. I ate in their restaurant and it was pretty good. 670 miles today.

I left at about 12:30 AM CDT and drove to Irvine, TX, and delivered the Engines. After getting two of them off the fork lift broke. After a while they brought over another fork lift and unloaded the rest of it. What normally would have taken 30 minutes took an hour and a half.

My next load is in North Little Rock, Arkansas. I started off that way but didn't get very far. Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Rockwall, Texas. Had some good Texas BBQ ribs for dinner. 562 miles today.

Felt a lot better today. This morning I drove over to Griffin, GA, and loaded five Caterpillar engines and five parts boxes. They are all going to Irvine, Texas.

Left there and had a pretty good day on the road. No traffic issues going around Atlanta. There was a big traffic back-up in Alabama but I was able to go around it and didn't lose any time. Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Meridian, Mississippi.

In the middle of the night last night I woke up very sick. Started at about 2 AM. This morning I changed my loading appointment until tomorrow morning. I have been sick all day but, I think I'm getting better. Will try to load tomorrow. Not taking any phone calls.
