 They did pretty good but ran out of gas in the second half.

 Here in Jacksonville, we got very little of the hurricane.  It moved further south than predicted, which was good!! We got rain and wind but no big deal here.  

This morning I left at 3 AM EDT and drove down to Riverview, FL.  I got there just before they opened and delivered the telehandler.  My next load is back at the Port of Jacksonville on Monday morning.  I drove back to where I started from at the Daily Terminal in Jacksonville.  I'll be there until Monday morning.  Now I can settle in for a good weekend of SEC college football.  GO GATORS!!!!

 I left at midnight and drove to the Daily Terminal in Jacksonville.  The storm was still quite a ways away so no real effects from it yet.  It is moving a bit farther south than initially forecast.  Here is what it looks like now.

I'll update the blog if anything interesting happens.  I don't think I'll get much of it here since it shifted a bit farther south.  We'll see.  Stay tuned....

 I left at midnight and drove 583 miles to the Flying J truck stop in St. George, South Carolina. No traffic issues.  Lots of power trucks and tree removal convoys heading south on I-95.

 I drove the rest of the way to Elkridge, MD this morning and was there when they opened.  I got unloaded pretty quickly and left for my next load.  Drove to McConnellsburg, PA, and loaded a Caterpillar TL1255 Telahandler that is going to Riverview, Florida.  Heading back into another hurricane!!  Riverview is just outside of Tampa.

Left there and drove back to the AC&T truck stop in Hagerstown, MD, right back where I started this morning.  Had to stop way early today because I ran out of hours on my 70-hour clock.

 I left a little after midnight and drove to the AC&T truck stop in Hagerstown, Maryland.  Will deliver in the morning.
