I left at sunrise this morning and drove to the Daily Yard in Jacksonville, Florida. Now it's time for some college football.
The Gators looked great!!! But they played a powder puff team. Next week is against Tennessee. They are gonna get killed! :(
My permits didn't start to come in until 10:00 AM EDT. I left at 10:30. Traffic wasn't too bad in Baltimore or Washington DC. North of Richmond I got in a few miles of slow-n'-go traffic. The last 25 miles today were the most interesting. I could see the thunderstorm ahead of me. Radar showed it to be a good one, although not real big. As we (meaning all the traffic around me) approached it we drove through what appeared to be the start of a small tornado. It was pretty cool!!! Glad I was heavy!!! Made it through the storm and stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Kenly, North Carolina. Thought you might like to see who's driving the wheel loader...
He gets a lot of attention from passing cars and trucks.
Left at 8:30 AM EDT. Had some bumper-to-bumper traffic in Washington DC. Continued on up to Harrisburg, PA, and delivered the wheel loader. Then drove to the Keen yard in Carlisle, PA, and loaded a Volvo L180H Wheel Loader that is going to Davie, Florida.
I left at sunrise this morning. Sat for about an hour on stop-and-go traffic (mostly stop) about 25 miles south of North Carolina because of construction and a wreck in the construction zone. Because of that and the flat tire yesterday, I couldn't get as far as I wanted to today. I was not able to get through the northern Virginia curfew area so I had to stop very early. Stopped at the Flying J truck stop in Ruther Glen, Virginia. Won't be able to start until 8:30 tomorrow because of the curfew.
Left early this morning and delivered the wheel loader just when they opened. My next load was up in Pooler, Georgia (next to Savannah). I drove up there and loaded a Caterpillar 950 Wheel Loader that is going to Harrisburg, PA.
