 I left a half hour after sunrise this morning.  Deciding not to drive through Atlanta yesterday was a good decision.  Had no traffic problems at all today except some idiot container driver tried to squeeze me out in the I-75 and I-16 construction zone in Macon, GA.


Not sure why he didn't hit me, but it was close, very close.  Stopped for the rest of the weekend at the TA truck stop in Brunswick, Georgia.

 When my 10 hours were up I left.  The only issue on the road today was a bad crash had totally shut down I-24 south of Nashville near Murfreesboro.  I was able to find a fast easy way around it. Only lost a couple minutes in the detour.  Stopped for the rest of the day and night at the TA truck stop in Cartersville, Georgia.  518 miles today.

 Left Albert Lea, MN at about  AM EDT (1 AM CDT) and drove the rest of the way to Racine, Wisconsin.  Got there before they opened.  When the guy got there I loaded a Case 340 tractor and 4 tires that are going to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia.  If you look real close you can see my tractor driver.



Left there and headed south.  Lots of slow-n'-go traffic in Chicago from O'Hare Airport down past Midway Airport.  Once I got out of Chicago it smoothed out.  Stopped for my 10 hours at the Love's truck stop in Whitestown, Indiana.  Another 620 miles today.

 Left at midnight and drove the rest of the way to Savage, MN, and delivered the wheel loader.  My next load is back in Racine, Wisconsin.  I started that way but stopped at the Petro truck stop in Albert Lea, MN for my 10 hours when I ran out of hours.  554 miles today.

 Arrived in Montgomeryville, PA right when they opened its morning.  Delivered the two backhoes.  My next load was back in Carlisle at the Keen yard.  Went there and waited in line.  I was fourth.  Finally loaded a Komatsu WA320-8 Wheel Loader that is going to Savage, Minnesota.  


It took forever to get out of the Keen yard.  When I did, I drove over to the Daily Yard for my 10 hours.  I'll get started again around midnight.

I have added a new feature to my photos.  There is now a QR code on them.  If you scan the QR code it will show you, on the map, exactly where the photo was taken.
