 Started at 4 AM EDT. Had everything timed perfectly so that I could deliver today.  After fueling up in Scranton, PA, I noticed that the nimrods in the office didn't have the start date for my NY, CT, and MA permits until Monday!!  I called the office to get them reordered so that I could continue.  I stopped at the Onvo truck stop in Greentown, PA, to wait.  After a few hours had gone by, they started to come in.  All but New York.  So I couldn't move.  New York never did come in, so I'll be here until Monday morning.  More wasted time!!! Good job, Carlisle!!!

 I got my truck back again this morning, and everything worked on it!!!  I drove to the Port of Baltimore and loaded a Caterpillar 972 Wheel Loader that is going to Milford, Massachusetts. 

It took two attempts to get the machine straight on the trailer.  I guess I am a bit rusty from sitting so much!  Didn't have any permits, so I went to the TA truck stop in Baltimore for the night.  My permits didn't start to come in until 4:40 PM EDT.  Got all but Massachusetts.

 Well, I got my truck back, and it looks nice.  Then my APU quit working, so I took it right back and dropped it off to get it repaired.  I'm still in the hotel.
