I left at sunrise this morning and drove the rest of the way to Fairburn, Georgia, and was able to deliver. My next load is Monday in Athens, GA. I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Commerce, GA for the rest of the weekend. Now it is time for some great college football!!!!
Left at sunrise this morning. Rain all day, sometimes pretty heavy. A little breezy at times, but nothing very bad, Did fine until southern Virginia on I-77. In the middle of the backup, this guy wasn't paying attention and went over there to avoid slamming into the back of the stopped traffic from a very bad semi crash involving two semis that got tangled up and went over the side. Neither driver survived the crash. It took over an hour to get past that, and it wasn't even on our side!! That was at Fancy Gap, Virginia.
When I left the yard this morning I passed the truck wash and saw that there was no line. I stopped and got the truck washed. After that, I went over to the very busy Keen yard and loaded a Link-Belt 210X4 Excavator that is going to Fairburn, Georgia.
I stayed there for the night.
Here is why I try to never park at the end of a row.
Fortunately, the other driver, that could barely speak English, did not drive off, as so many do.
As soon as my 10 hours were up I left. That was about 1 AM EST. Drove the rest of the way to Batavia, New York, and delivered the mini excavator. My next load is, once again, back in Carlisle, PA. I drove back there and went to the Daily yard for the night. Another 622 miles today. After getting to the yard, I got a car, went to Wal-Mart, did three loads of laundry, and fixed something on the trailer. Then had dinner. I'm exhausted and my back hurts. Good night.
As soon as my 10 hours were up, I left. That was at about 1:30 AM EST. Had another very good uneventful day on the road. Drove up to Columbus, Ohio, and delivered the Dozer. I only had enough time left to get to a truck stop so I went to the Flying J truck stop in Berkshire, Ohio. 663 miles today. When my 10 is up, I'll hit the road again. But for now, good night.
Left at about 4 AM CST and drove the rest of the way to Montgomery and delivered the wheel loader. My next load was back in Athens, Georgia. Drove there and loaded a Caterpillar D3 Dozer that is going to Columbus, Ohio and a Caterpillar 304 Mini Excavator that is going to Batavia, New York.
Left there but didn't go very far. Stopped at the TA truck stop in Commerce, Georgia for my 10 hours.
