I left at about 2 AM EST and drove the rest of the way down to South Bay, Florida. I arrived at 5:45 AM. They are making a 16-mile dam and reservoir there. The project is massively huge!!!! They were not ready for us when we arrived. They didn't have anything big enough to lift the counterweight. They tried with a Caterpillar 966 Wheel Loader that had fork attachment on it. When they lifted it, the counterweight didn't move, but the back wheels of the wheel loader came up off the ground. SO, I had to wait while they called something to come and lift it. At about noon, they finally lifted the counterweight off my trailer, and I left. Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Vero Beach, FL, because I was just about out of hours for today. Burned up too many sitting around waiting. I load tomorrow in Brunswick, Georgia.
