 Nothing interesting today.  I drove about an hour closer to delivery to a truck stop on a Seneca Indian reservation in Irving, New York.  I'll be here until Monday morning.

 When my 10 hours were up, I left.  Had no traffic problems today, even going through Chicago, Toledo, and Cleveland.  Drove 696 miles and stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Erie, Pennsylvania with only 4 minutes left on my clock for today.  Not too shabby!  

The left turn signal on my trailer quit working yesterday.  Tried to get it fixed yesterday when at the Love's truck stop in Wisconsin.  They found the problem but couldn't get to it because the rollers on the trailer were in the way.  Also, the trailer was too low to the ground and they didn't have a pit.  Today checked in at the shop here at the TA.  They have a pit.  When they were ready, I backed the trailer into the shop over the pit and they were able to get under the trailer and repair the broken wire to the lights.  He also found a couple air leaks and fixed them too.

 I left very early this morning and arrived in Mason City when they opened.  Delivered the dozer.  My next load was up in Elk River, Minnesota.  I drove up there and loaded two rollers.  The little one is going to Tonawanda, New Your.  The bigger one is going to Washington, North Carolina.

I left there and drove to the Love's truck stop in Oakdale, Wisconsin for my 10 hours.

 My day didn't start off very good.  It was raining. When it was time to go, I couldn't.  There was a wreck on the Interstate that had all westbound lanes blocked.

Once that cleared, I left.  Then got into bumper-to-bumper traffic going around Indianapolis.  Finally cleared that and got out of Indy.  Just before I got to Illinois I passed a truck that was having a worse day than me.

The day got better and so did the weather.  I continued on to the Love's truck stop in Newton, Iowa.  I'm directly across the street from the Iowa Speedway.

 I left Baltimore very early this morning.  Nice drive today.  Nothing interesting at all.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in New Paris, Ohio.

 This morning I went over and delivered the two crates.  Then drove up to Carlisle, PA, dropped off the stepdeck trailer, and got my trailer back again.  From there I drove to the Port of Baltimore and loaded a Caterpillar D6 Dozer that is going out to Mason City, Iowa.

I left the Port and drove over to the TA truck stop in Baltimore for the night.
