Here is a short time lapse video going down the road after being loaded.

Today I'll enjoy a bunch of football.

And...

Went over to Menomonee Falls first thing this morning and loaded a Tunnel Boring Machine that is going to Cleveland, Ohio. 

Left there in great time.  I had all my permits except Ohio.  Found out, while on the way, that Ohio's permit computer crashed yesterday.  It was back up today but they were back logged.  Also found out that I needed a Cleveland City permit.  That one takes three days to process BUT they will not even start the process until they get my Ohio State permit.  All that means is that instead of delivering tomorrow as planned, I may not be able to deliver until Tuesday, Wednesday, or even Thursday!!  I stopped at the Petro truck stop in Gary, Indiana until I get my Ohio permits.  Happy, happy, joy joy!!

Had some snow last night.  About an inch.  Left real early this morning and drove the rest of the way up to Eau Claire, Wisconsin and delivered the dump truck.  After that drove over to the Daily terminal in Lannon, Wisconsin.  It is the Milwaukee terminal.  Had a bunch more things to fix on the trailer.  When he finished that, I found out that my printer took a dump.  Went to Wal Mart and bought a new one, then installed it.  Now I'm settled in for the evening.  I load very close to here in the morning.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Another great day on the road. Snow was on the ground in northern Illinois from a dusting to about a foot thick.  No snow on the ground in Wisconsin. It was sunny and the roads were clear and dry all day.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Portage, Wisconsin.  Will deliver tomorrow morning.

Left a half hour after sunrise this morning.  A great day on the road. No traffic problems going through Nashville.  Continued on up to the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois where I'll spend the night.  No snow yet, but it is c-o-l-d !!!!

Went overt to the Port of Savannah first thing this morning and loaded a Caterpillar 745 Articulating Dump Truck that is going up to Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Got out of there in real good time this morning.  Went through Atlanta with no traffic problems.  That's amazing!!!!  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Cartersville, Georgia.  Feels GREAT to be back on the road again!!!!!!!!!!!

Hard to believe...

Left early this morning and drove to the TA truck stop in Richmond Hill, Georgia.  Wanted to (and did) beat all the "going home" traffic.  Load tomorrow morning over at the Port of Savannah.

Another great day for SEC football!!!!

Florida Gators vs. Florida State Seminoles.  Rivalry Weekend in College football. Last game of the regular season.  Can't believe how fast it went!!!!

Gators did a great job of destroying the Seminoles!!!

Back to work tomorrow.  Load Monday.  It will be great to get back to work.  Been off way too long.

Here is the trailer I picked up last night.

Monday, November 12, 2018

This afternoon drove down to Eustis, Florida to another Daily driver's house and picked up a trailer.  Was raining when I left and heard the traffic report on the radio, it was not good.  I went the back roads all the way down to avoid all the traffic back ups.  Even so, it took three hours to get there.  Once I got the trailer I went back to Jacksonville. Too dark for pictures.  I'll post them tomorrow.

Drove the rest of the way back to Jacksonville, Florida this morning.  We will see what next week brings.

Left Carlisle, PA last night at about 10 pm.  As I had hoped, I had no traffic issues going around Washington DC.  Stopped at the Petro truck stop in Kenly, North Carolina for the day.  Got a nap and then an afternoon of SEC football!!!

Gators looked horrible, but somehow pulled it off!!!

Nothing interesting came up today.  Late this afternoon we decided to leave my trailer here in Carlisle and bobtail back to Jacksonville.  That was the easy part.  The hard part was where to put all my chains and binders.  The rain didn't help much either.  I have 20 large binders and chains too with very little storage.  It wasn't easy, but I managed to pile most of them up on the cat walk and tie them down.  Just hope they don't shift any while I'm going down the road.  I'll grab some more sleep now and leave here tonight to, once again, avoid the Washington DC traffic. That is even worse in the rain. Hopefully I'll have as good luck going back as I did coming up.

Last night I left a little after 11 pm.  Drove the rest of the way to Carlisle, PA.  No traffic issues at all.  When I got to Carlisle I stopped at the truck wash and got everything washed.  Then over to the Daily yard and went to sleep.  Later on int the morning when I got up, I got the trailer unloaded.  Then took care of everything else I had to do up here.  We will see what tomorrow brings.

Wednesday, November 7, 2018

Left this morning and drove about 5 hours up to the TA in Ashland, Virginia.  Got here about 1 pm. Had to take a nap.  I'll leave here in the middle of the night to try to avoid the Washington DC traffic.  Going to get some more sleep now.

I'm finally back on the road.  Still don't have all my strength back, but I'm doing pretty good.  Last Friday we loaded two jeeps on my trailer that are going up to the "home office" in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  

Late this morning I decided to leave and take my time going up there.  It felt so good to be moving again.  I was going nuts sitting still.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Florence, South Carolina.

I'll be back on the road briefly next week. 

Today didn't go very well for the Gators. Not very well at all.

I'm still recovering from surgery.  I'll be back real soon.

In the mean time, another great weekend of SEC football!!

Unfortunately the end didn't come out as we had hoped.
