I left Davenport at about 5:30 PM CST last evening. Lots of "shooting stars" tonight. Had an uneventful drive until I went through the Gary, Indiana area. On I-80 heading west just east of Gary I passed a high-speed police chase.
That thing I picked up in Wyoming is not going to Davenport like I thought, it's going to Frederick, Maryland. Last night I left as soon as my 10 hours were up. Had no problems on the road. Night driving is so much better. I drove 695 miles to John Deere in Davenport, Iowa where I'll pick up a machine.
I loaded a John Deere 544 Wheel Loader this morning that is going to Dunmore, Pennsylvania. Couldn't leave until my 10 hours are up,
I sat in their parking lot until I could move again.
I left at about 5:30 PM CST. Will drive all night again.
Last night I drove to Evanston, Wyoming, and picked up this little thing. It's doing to Davenport, Iowa.
Left there and headed east. About halfway through Wyoming got into ice fog. Coated everything with a fine mist of ice. The trees and grass were really gorgeous!! Couldn't get any photos of it, too dark. Made for some slick spots on the road. It is very tiring driving in that. It cleared up around Cheyenne. Stopped for my 10 hours at the Love's truck stop in Sydney, Nebraska.
Finally got my next load. I'll leave tonight at about 7:45 PM MST drive to Evanston, Wyoming, and pick up a small rack of some kind that is going to John Deere in Davenport, Iowa.
Went to deliver this morning and when I got there they changed the delivery address, so I had to go about 17 miles to deliver. It took an hour to get there. I finally delivered. Then I went back to the truck stop to wait for them to give me my next load. Nothing today, hopefully something tomorrow.
Left early this morning. Very nice drive through the mountains of Utah. Went through the town of Moab, the gateway to the Arches National Park. It was a beautiful drive. The highest elevation was 7,400 feet. Stopped at a truck stop in Salt Lake City, Utah for the rest of today. I'll deliver about 1 mile from here in the morning.
