 When my 10 hours were up I left.  It was 70 degrees.  Drove through the rainy cold front going through Alabama.  When I got to Slidell, LA it was 43 degrees and very windy.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Beaumont, Texas.  635 miles today.

 Drove up to Pembroke, Georgia this morning, stopping along the way to get the truck washed.  Got there at about 7 AM EST.  There was some confusion about what I was supposed to take.  Once that got straightened out I got loaded with a counterweight and a drilling sleeve that are going to a job site in San Antonio, Texas.  

Here is the drill that this goes on.  There is another truck here with 12 axles to load it.  Tomorrow there will be another truck loading some more stuff for this drill too.

After I got loaded I sat there for three and a half hours waiting for them to complete the paperwork.  I wasn't a happy camper.  Needless to say, I didn't get very far today.  Stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Smith's Station, Alabama.

 I left at about 2 AM EST and drove the rest of the way to Boynton Beach.  Delivered the skid steers.  My next load is tomorrow morning in Pembrook, Georgia.  I started off that way and stopped for the night at the Jacksonville yard.  Didn't have enough hours left today to get up to Savannah.  Pembrook is just west of Savannah.

 As soon as my 10 hours were up I left.  Very good uneventful day on the road.  Drove 660 miles stopping only once for that stupid required 30-minute rest break.  Stopped for my next 10 hours off at the TA truck stop in Lake City, Florida.

 Left real early this morning to beat the Dallas rush hour traffic. Arrived at the delivery site with no problems.  Delivered the excavator. Left there and drove to a Caterpillar dealer in Cleburne, Texas, and loaded two Caterpillar Skid Steers and two buckets, and two forks that are going to Boynton Beach, Florida.

Left there and drove to the Love's truck stop in Monroe, Louisianna for the night.  For some reason, I'm really tired tonight.  Phone is off.  Good night.
