 I left at midnight-30.  Drove 528 miles to the Love's truck stop in Pooler, Georgia.  Now it it time to settle in for another great afternoon of SEC football.  Go Gators!!!!

Gator Fans Watch This!!!!

 I left Racine, Wisconsin, this morning at 2 AM CDT and drove to Lafayette, Indiana.  Loaded a Caterpillar Generator that is going to Savannah, Georgia.

I left there in pretty good time.  Traffic was heavy all day.  I was able to go around a large traffic backup from construction in Kentucky.  Wasn't able to get around the other three areas of construction back-ups. Stopped for my 10 hours at the Love's truck stop in Corbin, Kentucky.  539 miles today.

 At midnight-30, when my 10 hours were up, I left Hurricane, West Virginia.  I hit Chicago right in the middle of rush hour.  LOTS of bumper-to-bumper traffic getting through there. I drove the rest of the way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and delivered the wheel loader.   Being short on hours, I drove to the Petro truck stop in Racine, WI, for the night. 615 miles today.

 I drove to Clayton, North Carolina, this morning, arriving a little bit before they opened.  When they opened, loaded a Caterpillar 930 Wheel Loader that is going to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Got out of there in pretty good time.  Drove to the TA truck stop in Hurricane, West Virginia, for my 10 hours.

 I left early this morning.  Got stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Baltimore beltway that was caused by a crash.  Once I made it past that mess, I continued on to Salem, Virginia, and delivered the dump truck.  My next load is in Clayton, North Carolina.  I started that way.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Mebane, NC.  I'll load in the morning.

 The shop fixed my truck and trailer this morning, then I left for the Port of Baltimore for my next load.  Of course, I got there just in time for them to go to lunch.  They go to lunch from 11:30 to 1:00. I didn't have all the necessary paperwork and tried to get it from Daily before the Port folks got back from lunch. That didn't happen.  So, I went from being first in line to check in to 10th.  I finally got what I needed and loaded a Caterpillar 730 Articulating Dump Truck that is going to Salem, Virginia.

 Security was very heavy in and around the Port today.  I have never seen it like this. I left there and went over to the TA truck stop in Baltimore, Maryland, for the night.
