 Delivered the Caterpillar stuff in Ocala first thing this morning.  Then drove up to Pooler, GA, and loaded a Volvo ECR 145EL Excavator that is going to Medley, Florida.

Left there and drove to the Daily Yard in Jacksonville, FL for my 10 hours.

 As soon as my 10 hours were up I left.  Drove 721 miles to the Petro truck stop just north of Ocala.  Stopped with only 4 minutes left on my driving clock today. That's cuttin' it pretty close!!  I'll deliver first thing in the morning.

 First thing this morning I loaded a few things for a BIG Caterpillar Excavator.  They are going to Ocala, Florida.

Left there and had a pretty good day.  Some bumper-to-bumper traffic in Houston.  Stopped for my 10 hours at the Love's truck stop in Iowa, Louisiana.

 When the staff arrived to work this morning I got my paperwork signed and I left to head to Victoria, TX for my next load.  It takes 7+ hours to get there from Odessa so I didn't get there in time to load today.  I stayed there for the night and will load first thing in the morning.

 I left at midnight EDT (11 PM CDT) and drove the rest of the way to Odessa, Texas.  I arrived at about 7 AM CST.  When I got there the gate was open so I went in and unloaded the motor grader.  There were only a few mechanics working in the shop but no one from shipping/receiving was there.  I didn't expect that there would be.  I was surprised that the gate was open.  After unloading I parked just outside the gate to wait until tomorrow morning.
