 I left at about 1:15 EST this morning.  That's the best time to go through Atlanta.  Drove 662 miles today to the Petro truck stop in Shreveport, Louisiana.

 I left early this morning.  Passed a fatality wreck in Georgia.  It was on the south bound side of I-95.  The south bound side was totally shut down.  It was hard to tell what happened but I saw a semi-truck, tank truck, laying on it's side all burned up.  It was bad!  I think there were other cars involved but couldn't tell.  Anyway, I went to Richhmond Hill, GA and delivered the mini excavator right when they opened.  From there I drove to the Port of Savannah and loaded a Caterpillar 140M Motor Grader that is going to Odessa, Texas. 

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Jackson, Georgia for my 10 hours.  Going to sleep early so I can start early.

 Another driver had loaded a mini excavator on a step-deck trailer that was going to Richmond Hill, Georgia.  When he got there to deliver they didn't have a ramp for him to unload. He brought it here to the Jacksonville yard and unloaded it.  I put it on my trailer and will deliver it in the morning on my way to Savannah to load.

 Left Jackson, GA a half hour after sunrise this morning.  Drove the rest of the way to Lutz, Florida, and delivered the dozer.  Then drove to the Daily Yard in Jacksonville.  Will be here for a few days.

 Well, the Gators didn't do very well against Georgis yesterday. But no one expected them to anyway.  At least it wasn't a shutout.

I'm glad I stayed put yesterday.  Traffic was still a mess in Chattanooga at 6 pm last night.

When I left this morning it was a lot better.

When I got to the weigh station in Georgia found that I had a flat tire on the truck.  I stayed there and had road service come out to fix it. 

I finally got out of there at 12:30 pm.  Made it around Atlanta without much trouble. BUT south of Atlanta, it took over 30 minutes to go five miles.

Needless to say, I didn't get very far today.  Stopped at the Pilot truck stop in Jackson, Georgia.  Good thing I stopped when I did. I got one of the last 3 parking spaces left.
