 This morning loaded a Caterpillar 3516E Genset that is going to Mount Joy, Pennsylvania.  Fortunately, I didn't have to tarp it.  It was already done.

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Seville, Ohio. I'll be here until Monday morning.

 This morning, I drove the rest of the way to Springfield, Missouri, and delivered the motor grader.  My next load is tomorrow morning in Lafayette, Indiana.  I drove up there and parked outside in the truck staging area for the night.  623 miles today.

 When my 10 hours were up, I left.  Drove 649 miles today and stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Cuba, Missouri.

 This morning, I loaded a Caterpillar 140 Motor Grader at the Port of Baltimore that is going to Springfield, Missouri.

I like driving the ones with joystick controls.  So much better than steering wheel and levers.  I left there and had some bumper-to-bumper traffic in Baltimore.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Wheeling, West Virginia. I'm incredibly tired tonight, and my back really hurts!  Good night.

 I left Florence, SC, this morning at about 4 AM EDT.  Had to stop at the Virginia state line because my Virginia permit had not come in yet.  It took about an hour for it to come in.  I used the time to take a nap.  Once I got back on the road again, I drove the rest of the way to Sterling, Virginia, and delivered the loader.  My next load is at the Port of Baltimore.  I started off that way, but couldn't get there before they stopped loading for the day.  So, I went to the TA truck stop in Baltimore for the night.

 I left early this morning, but it didn't matter.  Got stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic caused by a wreck.  It took 30 minutes to go 5 miles.  Once I got through that, I drove to Savannah and delivered the generator.  From there, I drove down to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia, and loaded a Caterpillar 963 Track Loader that is going to Sterling, Virginia.

I left there and drove to the Petro truck stop in Florence, South Carolina, for the night.

The truck was due for an oil change, so I got that done this morning.  Did a couple loads of laundry too.
