 I left at 3 AM CDT and drove the rest of the way to Cedar Falls, Iowa.  Loaded a couple of generator radiators that are going to Lafayette, Indiana.

They had some kind of computer problem in the office and had to wait until they got it straightened out before I could get my paperwork.  A little after 8 they finally got it figured out and I got my paperwork.  I drove to Lafayette, Indiana and delivered the radiators.  My next load is Friday in Machesney, Park, Illinois.  I started off that way but ran out of hours.  Stopped at the Petro truck stop in  Remington, Indiana with 4 minutes left on my clock for today.  576 miles today.

 I left at 3 AM CDT, drove the rest of the way to Bemidji, MN, and got there just as they opened.  Delivered the wheel loader.  Last night I got an email saying my truck was due for an oil change.  After I delivered, I went back to the Petro truck stop in Clearwater, MN, and got that done.  My next load is tomorrow in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I started off that way.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Albert Lea, Minnesota.  495 miles today.

 I left at about 11:30 PM EDT last night.  No traffic issues at all.  Going through Chicago in the middle of the night is the best time to go through.  Drove 633 miles to the Petro truck stop in Clearwater, Minnesota.  It is the best Petro in the country!!  They have a bakery here that is fantastic!!!!! I bought some cinnamon bread.  It was great!!!

Had lunch (my dinner) in the restaurant.  I had the prime rib.  It was about an inch and a half thick, just the way I like it.  It came with a salad, baked potato, and fresh bread. Ate it all.  It was delicious!!!!!! 

Going to sleep good today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
