 Once again, I left when my 10 hours were up. That was about 1:30 AM EDT.  Drove the rest of the way to Fredericksburg, Virginia, and delivered the grader.  My next load is at the Port of Baltimore.   I started off that way.  On the way, my truck gave me a warning light on the dash.  I called the Daily shop and they decided to have me go to Carlisle for it to be evaluated and repaired.  I diverted towards Carlisle.  Didn't have enough hours left to get there so I stopped at the TA truck stop in Greencastle, Pennsylvania for my next 10 hours off. 631 miles today.

 Left about 45 minutes before sunrise this morning.  Drove the rest of the way to Texarkana, Arkansas, and delivered the dump truck.  My next load was on the other side of the Interstate at the Caterpillar dealer.  Loaded a Caterpillar 120 Motor Grader that is going to Fredericksburg, Virginia.


Didn't have a lot of options on places to park for the night.  Stopped at a convenience store with a few truck parking places out back for the night.

 I left the Jacksonville yard a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Last night I got an email that said that my truck was due for an oil change.  I stopped at the Love's truck stop in Milton, Florida, and had it done.  From there I drove to the Love's truck stop in Biloxi, Mississippi for the night.

 This afternoon I went over to the Port of Jacksonville and loaded a Volvo A25G Dump Truck that is going to Texarkana, Arkansas.  While I was securing it to the trailer noticed that I had a flat tire on the trailer.  



Called the shop and got road service started my way.  Finished securing the machine then limped outside the Port gates for the guy to fix my tire.



When that was done I went back to the yard in Jacksonville for the night.
