 I was able to get loaded first thing this morning!!  Loaded a Caterpillar C175 Genset that is going to Elkridge, Maryland.

Then it had to be tarped!!  

Left there and drove to the Love's truck stop in Zanesville, Ohio for my 10 hours.

 I left at about 3 AM CT and drove to West Fargo, North Dakota in time for my 9 AM unloading appointment.  Delivered the thing.  I didn't have another load yet so my dispatcher told me to head for Minneapolis so I drove to the Petro truck stop in Clearwater, Minnesota. Had to have their prime rib again.  It is so good!!!  Couldn't wait to get there!!!!

I ate every bit of it too!!!!

 I left at about 12:30 AM EDT.  There were still widespread power outages along I-16 to Macon.  After passing through Macon I didn't see any more outages.  No traffic problems in Atlanta or Chatanooga but I got to Nashville right at rush hour.  There I had a lot of slow n' go and bumper-to-bumper traffic. Once I cleared that it was smooth sailing the rest of the day.  Drove 648 miles to the Love's truck stop in Marion, Illinois for my 10 hours.

 I left at about 3:45 AM EDT and drove to Savannah, Georgia where I had a 6:30 AM delivery appointment.  I delivered the stuff.  My next load was down at the Port in Brunswick.  I drove there.  I had to wait an hour and forty-five minutes for my dispatcher to get me the paperwork I needed to load, which I should have received last week.  When I got it I went and checked in.  They had no electricity and had set up outside using portable generators.  There were power poles down all around the Port.  I loaded something that Caterpillar calls a wheel.  I have no idea what it is or what it is for.  It is going to West Fargo, North Dakota.

Then it had to be tarped.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Statesboro, Georgia for my 10 hours.
