 I left at about 2:30 AM CST and drove the rest of the way up to Virginia, Minnesota, and delivered the excavator.  It was a bit chilly this morning.  -12 degrees F.  My next load is tomorrow morning in East Peoria, Illinois.  I started off that way.  After driving 591 miles and running out of hours I stopped at the Petro truck stop in Portage, Wisconsin for the night.  I am very tired!!!

 When my 10 hours were up, I left.  That was about 12:45 AM.  -2 degrees this morning. The best time to go through Chicago is at 2 AM!!!  No traffic at all.  There was some snow between Portage, WI, and Eau Claire, WI.  Other than that a very good day on the road. Drove to Savage, Minnesota, and delivered the dozer blade.  From there I went to the Love's truck stop in Columbus, Minnesota for the night.  642 miles today.

 I had more problems with my APU last night.  I left at about 12:45 AM and drove to Thermo King in Milbury, Ohio.  Got there before they opened.  When they opened, they took my truck in right away.  They spent all morning working on it.  I left there at about 12:30 PM and drove to the Petro truck stop in Angola, Indiana for my 10 hours.

 Yesterday we got about 6 inches of snow.

Today the roads were plowed and the sun was out.  I had a 9:25 AM loading appointment a couple miles down the road.  I was there at 9 AM.  Finally loaded a Komatsu 138 Excavator that is going to Virginia, Minnesota.  Also loaded a dozer blade that is going to Savage, Minnesota.

I didn't leave there until 12:30 PM.  Left there and drove to the service plaza on I-76 in Summerset, Pennsylvania for my 10 hours.
