 This evening was the  Daily Express annual Safety Banquet.  I didn't think it was as good as in years past, but it was still good.  Also seemed that the attendance was a bit lower than in years past.  The food was good.

The door prizes were definitely not as good.  I was the second to last one called, so by that time, there was nothing worth a flip left.  I got a tape measure.

I was very surprised that I was one of only two people this year inducted into the Daily Express Million Mile Club.  They gave me a nice watch.

 When my 10 hours were up, I left.  That was at about midnight 30.  Drove up to Washington, New York and delivered the wheel loader. From there I drove to the "home office" in Carlisle, Pennsylvania for the weekend. Got there with only 16 minutes left on my drive time clock.  646 miles today.  Daily is having their annual banquet Saturday night so I'll be going to that.  The food is pretty good, and they have great door prizes. They also get us a hotel room for the night.

 I left at sunrise this morning and drove the rest of the way to Washington, North Carolina.  Delivered the dump truck.  My next load was at Clayton, NC.  I drove over there and loaded a Caterpillar 930 Wheel Loader that is going to Bloomingburg, New York.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Ashland, Virginia.  I'm very tired and my back really hurts tonight.  Hard to get in the truck.  Going to sleep so it will feel better when I wake up.  Good night.

 This morning I drove up to Brunswick, Georgia.  Sat for an hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic that was caused by a wreck.  Didn't start to rain hard until I went to get out of the truck.  I got soaked!!  Loaded a Caterpillar 725 Articulating Dump Truck that is going to Washington, North Carolina.

Left there and drove to the Petro truck stop in Kenly, NC for the night. 449 miles today.
