 As soon as my 10 hours were up I left.  Drove the rest of the way to Baton Rouge and delivered the excavator.  My next load is up in North Little Rock, Arkansas.  Got started that way.  Supposed to load Saturday morning.  That got pushed back a day to Sunday morning.  That is a good thing!  I can get a reset done Saturday.  I made it to about 30 minutes away from where I load when I ran out of hours.  Stopped at a convenience store that has a restaurant in Redfield, Arkansas.  Put 643 miles behind me today and had 14 minutes left on my clock when I stopped.  Now it is time for some good college football!!  Except the Gators are playing Georgia tomorrow.  They are gonna get creamed, unfortunately. But there are some other matchups that will be good.  The Jacksonville terminal manager flew up to Pennsylvania today so he could go to the Ohio State at Penn State game.  That ought to be a good one.

 Left the Daily yard in Jacksonville early this morning and timed it so that I arrived to load in Pooler, Georgia just before they opened.  I was first in line.  Then loaded a Volvo ECR145EL Excavator that is going to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 

Left there and drove to the Love's truck stop in DeFuniak Springs, Florida for my 10 hours.

 Left real early this morning and went the rest of the way to Brunswick, GA and delivered the truck.  They were so excited to get it.  From there I drove to the Daily yard in Jacksonville.  Had a few errands to take care of.

 Went to Midlothian first thing this morning and got there just before they opened.  When they got there I loaded a Mack Truck that is going down to Brunswick, Georgia.

Left there and headed south.  Passed a semi truck in Petersburg, Virginia that had just started to burn. No one there yet.  

Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in St. Georges, South Carolina.

 Left very early this morning and drove the rest of the way into the Port of Baltimore.  The place was packed.  Took over a half hour just to get a parking place in order to go check-in.  Once I finally got checked in, I unloaded the tractor.  Those things are so much fun to drive!!!  You can really feel the power that they have.  

After that, I went to a different area and loaded a Caterpillar 320 Excavator that was going to Mechanicsville, Virginia.

Left there and drove to Mechanicsville and delivered the excavator.  My next load is at 8:30 tomorrow morning in Midlothian, Virginia.  I went to the TA truck stop in Ashland, VA for the night.

 Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Extremely uneventful day on the road.  Stopped for the night at the Sunoco truck stop in Grantsville, Maryland.
