 We left at sunrise this morning.  Had a very uneventful day on the road.  Drove up to the Love's truck stop in Hogansville, Georgia for the night.

 Was back to load first thing this morning.  Rained all day.  Loaded a Transition Duct for an Exhaust System that is going to Mooresville, North Carolina.  I am 14 feet, 7 inches high, and 12 feet, 2 inches wide.  

Once I left Texas I needed a pole car in front and a rear escort car in back.  I met them at the Louisiana Welcome Center on I-10.  We continued on.  A bit of bumper-to-bumper traffic in Baton Rouge, LA.  Aside from that, a very uneventful day.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Hammond, Louisiana.

 I left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  The drive to Dallas was pretty decent but when I got to Dallas I got in a lot of bumper-to-bumper traffic.  Thought I would never get to deliver!!  But I finally made it to Aubrey, TX, and delivered the wheel loader.  My next load was in Houston.  Just south of Dallas, another high-speed police chase passed by me on I-45.  They were going north, I was going south.   I drove down to Houston and tried to load today but I just missed the cut-off time so I'll load in the morning. I went to the TA truck stop in Baytown for the night.

 I left a half hour before sunrise this morning. Nice uneventful day on the road.  Going around Shreveport, Louisiana the B-52s from Barksdale Air Force Base were doing touch & goes. They are always cool to see.

Drove to the QT Truck Stop in Marshal, Texas for the night.

 This morning I went over to the Port of Savannah and loaded a Caterpillar 966 Wheel Loader that is going to Aubrey, Texas.

Left there and did pretty good on the road.  Had several miles of bumper-to-bumper traffic south of Atlanta.  Stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Heflin, Alabama.

 I left the yard a half hour before sunrise this morning and drove to Orlando.  Got stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-4 in Sanford because of a wreck.

Took about a half hour to get past it.  Then, continued to Orlando and delivered the wheel loader.  My next load is in Pooler, Georgia.  Drove up there but didn't get there in time to load today.  Will load first thing in the morning when they open.
