 Went to Lafayette, IN this morning and loaded a Caterpillar 3516 Genset and a parts box going to Irving, Texas.  



Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.  By the time I get to Texas that plastic will be a mess.  Had dinner at Chili's (across the street) and now it's time for some football!!

 I left at 3 AM EDT and drove over to New Philidelphia, Ohio.  I timed it perfectly and got there as they opened.  Loaded a Gradall XL4100 Excavator that was going to Indianapolis, Indiana.  



Left there in great time!!  Was out of there by 7:45 AM EDT.  Drove to Indy and delivered it.  

My next load is in Lafayette, Indiana except it doesn't load until 10 AM Saturday.  I drove to the Flying J truck stop in Lebanon, IN.  I'll be here until Saturday morning.

 Left at sunrise this morning and drove to Indianapolis, IN, and delivered the excavator.  Next load is back in New Philadelphia, Ohio.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in New Paris, Ohio.  Fall colors are looking good up here.  Nice to see all the farmers out in the fields working their combines.

 Left the Daily yard at 5 AM this morning and drove over to the Port of Baltimore and got in line to get in.  Glad I left when I did.  The container traffic into the port was backed up for over a mile.  It only got worse as the morning progressed.  At 7 AM they opened and I was able to unload in pretty good time.  Then went to the other area of the Port to check in to get my next load.  The line was all the way out the door and wrapped around the building.  So I waited.  Once I got checked in, I loaded a caterpillar 320 Excavator that is going to Indianapolis, Indiana.



In spite of all the delays, I was able to get out of there at about 10:30 AM EDT.  I drove to the TA truck stop in Wheeling, West Virginia for the night.

 At about 1 AM EDT I left and drove to the Daily terminal in Baltimore, Maryland.  Can't deliver this thing until Tuesday because of the holiday, so here I'll sit.
