 Game day!!!!

Friday, November 29, 2024

 This morning I drove to East Moline, Illinois, and delivered the dozer blade.  Snow flurries this morning and it was cold too!!  Temperatures in the teens.  The guy came in on his day off to unload me.  It was really nice of him to do that.  After that, I drove over to the "World Famous Iowa 80 Truck Stop".  I'll be here until Monday morning.  

Now I can watch the last weekend of the regular season of SEC college football.  

It's rivalry weekend!!!  Can't believe it is the last week of the regular season. Lordy, it went by so fast!!!

I left Carlisle, PA at 8 PM EST last night.  About halfway through Pennsylvania, it started to rain.   Had a brief rain/snow mix in the mountains of western PA.  In Ohio about 40 miles east of Cleveland it changed to snow.  Had a short spell of heavy snow, but it did not stick.  Ohio did a great job.  There were plow/sanders all over the place.  It changed back to rain before it stopped altogether.  Drove to the TA truck stop in Morris, Illinois for the night.  681 miles today.

 I left at about 5 AM EST and drove the rest of the way to Harrisburg, PA, and delivered the motor grader.  From there I went back to the "home office" in Carlisle and had a few repairs done to the APU.  My next load had a loading appointment at 12:30 at the Keen yard a couple miles down the road in Carlisle.  I sat there for two and a half hours before getting loaded.  20 minutes to load AND secure the load.  Loaded a dozer blade that is going to East Moline, Illinois, and a tailgate that is going to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  Another 20 minutes to get the paperwork so I could leave!! 

After that, I went back to the Daily Yard to get some dinner and sleep. I'll leave at about 9 or 10 p.m. tonight.

 I left at sunrise this morning.  Pretty uneventful day.  Heavy traffic.  Some bumper-to-bumper traffic from a couple wrecks.  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Winchester, Virginia. 577 miles today.

 I was in Ocala when they opened this morning. I delivered the boom lift. After that, I drove back to Jacksonville, got rid of this trailer, and picked up my trailer. Then, I drove up to Pooler, Georgia, and loaded a Caterpillar 140 Motorgrader that is going to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Left there and drove to the Love's truck stop in Yemassee, South Carolina for the night.

Last night when my 10 hours were up, I left.  That was just before 10 PM EST.  Drove to the Daily terminal in Jacksonville, Florida.  Got there just before 1 AM.  Will deliver Monday morning.
