 At about 2 AM CDT, I left and drove to the world-famous Iowa 80 truck stop in Walcott, Iowa.  Got the truck washed then settled in for the rest of the weekend.

 I left at about 5 AM CDT and drove to Elgin, Illinois, and delivered another box. I left there and drove up to Minneapolis (Bloomington, actually), Minnesota, and delivered the last box. My next load is in Davenport, Iowa, on Monday morning. I started off that way. I stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Albert Lea, Minnesota.  The truck was due for an oil change, so I got that done when I got there.  549 miles today.

 At about 2 AM EDT, I left this morning.  Started off the morning with a bright rainbow.  

Drove all the way to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and dropped off one of the boxes.  I started toward Elgin, Illinois, where my next stop is.  Had to stop at the Petro truck stop in Gary, Indiana, because I ran out of hours.  679 miles today.  Only had 28 minutes left when I stopped.

 I left at sunrise this morning. There was a lot of heavy traffic all day!!! I drove the rest of the way to Warrenton, VA, and delivered the track loader. My next load was at the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland. I drove over there. I hit Washington, DC, at rush hour and had a lot of bumper-to-bumper traffic along the way.  Finally made it to the Port.  Had to wait for their lunch hour to get over in order for them to load the three boxes I was getting.  One box is going to Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Another is going to Elgin, Illinois, and the last one is going to Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I left there and had a lot more very heavy traffic getting out of Baltimore all the way west to I-81.  I stopped for my 10 hours at the TA truck stop in Breezewood, Pennsylvania.

I left there and drove down the street to the TA truck stop in Brunswick, GA, for the night.
