We (myself and my two pilot cars) couldn't leave until 9 AM EDT. Had a very good day on the road. Beautiful autumn colors through the mountains of Pennsylvania. The permit route had us going through some incredibly tight two-lane roads in a few small towns. Stopped for the night at Trucker's World truck stop in Hubbard, Ohio. Only 384 miles today.
I left at 2 AM EDT and drove to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland. Loaded a large crate that has a printing press in it. It is 15 feet, 7 inches wide and weighs 54,000 pounds. There are multiple truckloads of these things going to Neenah, Wisconsin.
I left when my 10 hours were up at about 2:30 AM EDT. Lots of rain today. Very heavy wind too!!! The wind didn't let up until about Scranton, PA. They changed my destination to Bloomingburg, New York. So I went there and delivered the roller in the rain and mud. My next load is tomorrow morning at the Port in Baltimore. I went to the TA truck stop in Maybrook, New York, for a much-needed shower and my 10 hours. Hope the weather is better tomorrow. 449 miles today.
This morning I was in Rincon, Georgia, before they opened at 7 AM EDT. When they opened, loaded a Caterpillar CB10 Asphalt Compactor that is going up to Poughkeepsie, New York.
I order to get it up on the trailer, have to build a ramp.
This morning I went over and unloaded first thing. This is how it looked after the shrink wrap shredded.
I left at 1 AM EDT and drove to the Pilot truck stop that is about 6 minutes away from delivery tomorrow. I have a 1:30 PM delivery appointment, but I'm going to go in the morning and see if they can do it earlier.
