 I went over to Caterpillar for my 11:30 AM loading appointment.  When they looked at what I was supposed to get, they saw that there was no way to get 11 pieces on my trailer.  So Caterpillar Transportation had to get involved, and the load had to be made smaller.  Eventually, they got it figured out, and I got loaded with parts for a Caterpillar 995 Wheel Loader that are going to the Port of Baltimore. The largest part is the radiator.  


This is what a 995 looks like when it is fully assembled.


I left there but didn't go very far.  Stopped for my 10 hours at the Pilot truck stop in Oakwood, Illinois.

 At about 3 AM I went and got the truck washed.  My next load is tomorrow in Decatur, Illinois.  Doesn't load until 11:30 AM.  At about 10 this morning, I left and drove down to the Pilot truck stop in Decatur for the night.
