I left at midnight CDT. Had a construction detour at the I-35E and I-35W merge on the north side of Dallas. Other than that, I had a good day on the road until 20 miles from my planned stop for the day. A tire on my trailer blew.
I left at 2 AM CDT and drove the rest of the way to Houston and delivered the yard truck. My next load was at the Port in Galveston, Texas. I drove there and loaded a Caterpillar 150 Motor Grader that is going to Fargo, North Dakota.
This morning, I drove about 15 miles over to Harrisonville, Missouri, to a transfer station for my next load. For those of you who do not know what a transfer station is, it is a place where the local garbage trucks go to unload when there is not a landfill close by. From there, the garbage gets put into semi trucks for the trip to the landfill. Anyway, I loaded a yard truck that is going down to Houston, Texas.
Last night I left at 8 PM CDT and drove the rest of the way to Kansas City, MO, and delivered the loader. I was almost out of hours for today, so I went to the Flying J truck stop in Peculiar, Missouri, for the rest of the day. 620 miles today.
I left at about 9 PM EDT last night. Drove 563 miles to a small truck stop in Christiana, Tennessee. No traffic issues at all. I love driving at night!!!
This morning, I drove to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia, and loaded a Caterpillar 953 Tack Loader that is going to Kansas City, Missouri.
From there, I drove back to the Daily yard in Jacksonville. Had an appointment to tend to there. When my 10 hours are up, I'll head out.
