 I left this morning as soon as my 10 hours were up.  This is the trailer I took.  It is a 3-axle, stretch step-deck trailer. 

Did good on the road.  Even Atlanta wasn't bad.  BUT Chatanooga was a mess, as usual.  I made it to Manchester, Tennessee, and dropped off the trailer.  Then, I headed back toward Jacksonville bobtail.  Stopped at the Pilot truck stop in Calhoun, Georgia for my 10 hours.  659 miles today.

Now it's time for some great SEC College Football.  I'll watch my Gators get crushed by Georgia.

 I left early and drove a little over an hour to a mine in Wadley, Alabama.  Had to wait for the crane to get there.  In the meantime, I took a nap.  When the crane got there and all setup, I got unloaded.  I left there and drove to the Daily Terminal in Jacksonville, Florida.  I'm dropping my trailer there and taking another trailer up to Manchester, Tennessee.  I'll leave here when my 10 hours are up.

 I left at about 3 AM CDT and drove to Oklahoma City, OK and loaded what they call a "Topshell Assembly".  I think it is the top section of a rock crusher, but I'm not sure.  Anyway, it is going to Wadley, Alabama.

I left there and drove over to the Daily terminal in OKC to stop by and say "Hi" to a friend that I haven't seen in a long time.  After that I drove to the TA truck stop in Atkins, Arkansas for my 10 hours.  496 miles today.

 I left at sunrise this morning. It was a good day on the road until Dallas. Then, there was heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. When I got north of Dallas, my permit route had me on city streets for the last 27 miles. It took two hours to travel those 27 miles.  I made it to deliver with less than 15 minutes before they closed for the day.  I delivered the dozer.  There was a place to park there for the night, so I'll do my 10 hours there.  My next load is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in the morning. Drove 493 miles today.

 Went to Creve Coure, Illinois first thing this morning and loaded a Caterpillar D6 Dozer that is going to Aubrey, Texas.

I left there in pretty good time and drove 486 miles to the TA truck stop in Earl, Arkansas for the night.
